What is geophysics?

It is a science for nature lovers. It is a branch of science that studies the physical structure of both the earth and other planets, while providing the opportunity to see interesting places in the working processes.

Geophysical Engineering includes various methods developed for different physical parameters of the rocks and earth materials that make up the earth:

* Seismology

 * Electric methods

* Seismic Methods

* Electromagnetic methods

* Gravity methods

* Radiometric methods

* Magnetic Method

 * In addition, combined methods such as seismoelectricity

                                      
Study Areas of Geophysics

* Exploring and imaginging of the subsurface
* Observation and investigation of earthquakes
* Hydrocarbon Exploration 
* Exploration  of geothermal areas
* Exploration  of mineral deposits
* Groundwater exploration
* Investigation of environmental pollution
* Engineering structures  and site  investigations
* Engineering structures, strength of the foundation
* Archaeogeophysical researches

 
What are the main methods used in geophysical science?

Gravity: It is used for the purpose of imaging the geological units forming the earth structure according to their weights.

Magnetic: It is used for the purpose of mapping the geological units that make up the earth structure according to their magnetization feature.
 
Seismology: All about Earthquakes. The earthquakes from every aspect.

Seismic: The study of waves traveling in the earth in order to use imaging the subsurface.

Electricity: examines the impedance of geological units, forming the earth's structure, to electric current and use it to image the subsurface.

Electromagnetic: examines the response of geological units, forming the earth structure, to electromagnetic fields (eg radio broadcasts) and use it to image the subsurface.

Paleomagnetism: Studies to determine the direction and intensity of the ground magnetic field (compass direction) of rocks or other materials at the time of their formation (very ancient times).

Radiometric and Geothermic: It is a method of examining and mapping the values ​​of radiation and temperature, which are generally emitted by rocks.
 
Well Logs: Applies all geophysical measurements inside a borehole
