Course overview
This detailed introduction to geophysics provides a solid grounding for participants to understand, apply and harness geophysics for mining and infrastructure projects, and the ability to communicate confidently with other industry geophysicists.
Over 8 weeks, the course introduces participants to geophysical concepts, methods, and industry practices, combined with an in-depth analysis of real-world applications supported by case studies. Learn current methods and how to apply them; and explore an introduction into data interpretation with respect to their aim.
AusIMM’s Geophysics for Mining Professionals Professional Certificate allows participants to gain more value from geophysical applications. The course has been designed to clarify confusion and provide practical skills that can be immediately applied. This is especially relevant for applications where conventional physical methods such as drilling are not providing adequate or detailed subsurface information; for planning purposes; engineering design inputs; tailings storage facility construction; or future life of mine planning.
With few academic opportunities to learn about geophysics, this online course offers a convenient way to meet the industry’s need for educated staff in this poorly understood but business-critical field by exploring topics like:
- Overview and history of geophysics
- Theory of commonly used geophysical methods
- Scientific interpretation
- Industry applications
Broaden your knowledge and advance your career, while also gaining skills to avoid outsourcing, or to better interact with external geophysics professionals.
