  2. Admittance (geophysics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admittance_(geophysics)

    Another application of admittance in geophysics takes atmospheric pressure as the input and measures changes in the gravitational field as the output. In such case admittance is measured in μGal/mbar. These units convert according to 1 Gal = 0.01 m/s 2 and 1 bar = 100 kPa, so in SI units the measurement would be in units of;

  3. Seismic inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_inversion

    Simultaneous Inversion (SI) is a pre-stack method that uses multiple offset or angle seismic sub-stacks and their associated wavelets as input; it generates P-impedance, S-impedance and density as outputs (although the density output resolution is rarely as high as the impedances). This helps improve discrimination between lithology, porosity ...

  4. Geophysical survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geophysical_survey

    Geophysical survey is the systematic collection of geophysical data for spatial studies. Detection and analysis of the geophysical signals forms the core of Geophysical signal processing. The magnetic and gravitational fields emanating from the Earth's interior hold essential information concerning seismic activities and the internal structure.

  5. Magnetotellurics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetotellurics

    The resulting output of the processing program is used as the input for subsequent interpretation. Processing may include the use of remote reference data or local data only. Processed MT data is modelled using various techniques to create a subsurface resistivity map, with lower frequencies generally corresponding to greater depth below ground.

  6. Input/output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input/output

    The term can also be used as part of an action; to "perform I/O" is to perform an input or output operation. I/O devices are the pieces of hardware used by a human (or other system) to communicate with a computer. For instance, a keyboard or computer mouse is an input device for a computer, while monitors and printers are output devices.

  7. Outline of geophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_geophysics

    Geophysical fluid dynamics – study of naturally occurring, large-scale flows on Earth and other planets. Geodesy – measurement and representation of the Earth, including its gravitational field. Geodynamics – study of modes of transport deformation within the Earth: rock deformation, mantle convection , heat flow , and lithosphere dynamics.

  8. Geophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geophysics

    In the 20th century, geophysical methods were developed for remote exploration of the solid Earth and the ocean, and geophysics played an essential role in the development of the theory of plate tectonics. Geophysics is applied to societal needs, such as mineral resources, mitigation of natural hazards and environmental protection. [4]

  9. Numerical modeling (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_modeling_(geology)

    Converging: The output of the numerical model is closer to the actual solution of the governing equations in the mathematical models when the spacing of mesh (size of element) reduces, which is usually checked by carrying out numerical experiments. [2] Conserved: The physical quantities in the models, such as mass and momentum, are conserved. [2]
