  2. History of geophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_geophysics

    The future Journal of Geophysical Research was founded in 1896 with the title Terrestrial Magnetism. In 1898, a Geophysical Institute was founded at the University of Göttingen , and Emil Wiechert became the world's first Chair of Geophysics. [ 3 ]

  3. Geophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geophysics

    Geophysics is a highly interdisciplinary subject, and geophysicists contribute to every area of the Earth sciences, while some geophysicists conduct research in the planetary sciences. To provide a more clear idea on what constitutes geophysics, this section describes phenomena that are studied in physics and how they relate to the Earth and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Geophysics

    Geophysics (/ ˌ dʒ iː oʊ ˈ f ɪ z ɪ k s /) is a subject of natural science concerned with the physical processes and physical properties of the Earth and its surrounding space environment, and the use of quantitative methods for their analysis.

  5. 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.

  6. Outline of geophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_geophysics

    Geophysics can be described as all of the following: An academic discipline – branch of knowledge that is taught and researched at the college or university level. . Disciplines are defined (in part), and recognized by the academic journals in which research is published, and the learned societies and academic departments or faculties to which their practitioners

  7. 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 ...

    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.

    where I and O are the input and output rates. In the above example, the steady-state input and output rates are both equal to a, so τ res = 1/k. [20] If the input and output rates are nonlinear functions of C, they may still be closely balanced over time scales much greater than the residence time; otherwise, there will be large fluctuations in C.
