The subject follows basic geophysical knowledge. Graduates will be acquainted with newer instrumentation and techniques of geophysical measurements. By typing examples from individual themes, graduates will get an idea of how to correctly and efficiently draw up a methodology of geophysical measurements and how to correctly design interpretational procedures both from the point of view of evaluation of the measured data and from the point of view of the customer of the thematic task. The themes are based on current most frequently solved assignments (hydrogeology, geotechnics, construction, damaged areas, archeology).
