Computing an inverse model given gravity and magnetic data over a hypothetical hazardous waste site. We'll wind up lecture discussions on magnetic methods and devote the remainder of the class period to a final exam review session. Please come prepared to ask questions about the material covered since the last exam. Comprehensive but weighted toward the last two thirds of the semester. Depending on individual semester time constraints we may have time for additional lab exercises.
Preference is given to field trips depending on weather throughout the semester.
Determine the depth and horizontal location of a buried magnetic object using measurements of the total field anomaly. Resolution comparison using total field anomaly and vertical gradient measurements. Experiment with Tom Boyd's interactive resistivity models. This short course is accessed interactively on the Internet. Take the opportunity to visit this resource and work through some of the examples as we cover individual techniques through the semester.
