Applied geophysics and earth imaging

This course will introduce the concept of a GIS as a problem solving technology within the geosciences and is designed to provide practical experience in the processing of regional geophysical datasets for the purpose of undertaking geological interpretation.

Specific topics will include map projections and georeferencing, distortions in image data, raster and vector data models, incorporating digital terrain models and geophysical data, introduction to boolean logic and functions, data accuracy and access issues and limitations of GIS. The course is designed to allow you to go through step-by-step methodologies of processing data, interpretation techniques, and modelling of geophysical data.
