Geophysics is a branch of Earth sciences that uses physical phenomena to remotely image and characterize the subsurface, with applications in mining, oil and gas, geothermal, groundwater, and carbon underground storage industries.
Geophysicists use seismic, magnetic, electromagnetic, radiometric and gravitational technologies and techniques to determine the structure and composition of natural, and sometimes artificial, materials below the Earth's surface, without the need for drilling and excavation.
This course is designed for students who have completed an undergraduate geophysics, science or engineering degree and wish to enhance their career prospects with an additional qualification in geophysics.
It offers a solid grounding and practical training in a range of geophysical exploration methods, including data acquisition, processing, and interpretation.
You will gain hands-on experience using industry-standard equipment and software. You will also become more familiar with recent geophysical developments through a range of coursework units and investigative projects.
Research project units within the course aim to develop high levels of communication and research skills, as well as creativity and flexibility in the application of knowledge and skills to new situations.
This major sits within the Master of Science (Science) degree. To apply for this major, you will apply for the Master of Science (Science).
