Exploration geophysics is the applied branch of geophysics which uses deep and primarily near surface methods to probe or image the earth. This is for obtaining information relevant to hydrocarbon or mineral extraction, engineering, and geological studies. Geophysics, the study of the earth by quantitative physical methods, especially by seismic reflection and refraction, geodesy, gravity, magnetic, electrical, electromagnetic, and radioactivity methods. ... Earth is the third planet from the Sun. ...
Geophysics, the study of the earth by quantitative physical methods, especially by seismic reflection and refraction, geodesy, gravity, magnetic, electrical, electromagnetic, and radioactivity methods.
Explorationgeophysics is the practical application of physical methods (such as seismic, gravity, magnetic, electrical and electromagnetic) to remotely sense underground anomalies.
ExplorationGeophysics careers are in such widely varying industries as oil and gas exploration, mining, environmental studies, planetary physics and even archaeology.
The ExplorationGeophysics Initiative at the University of Texas at Austin was established in 1999, with the hiring of Dr. Robert Tatham as Shell Centennial Chair in Geophysics.
Faculty and students involved in the ExplorationGeophysics Initiative are committed to innovative research, building on the fundamentals of exploration methods, primarily in the field of oil and gas exploration.
The ExplorationGeophysics initiative is well situated to work cooperatively with existing aspects of the Department of Geological Sciences, particularly with the stratigraphy and sedimentological groups on interpretation, the structural geologists on interpretation and issues of fractured reservoirs, the global geophysicists and hydrologists on quantitative issues.
