Physical and Chemical Properties of Rocks, Minerals and Materials

Education facts

Code: 1MP018

Methods such as seismic, electromagnetic and gravity measurements comprise powerful tools for studying large volumes of the inaccessible sub-surface of the Earth. However, the direct observables are often of limited usefulness, such as seismic velocity or electric conductivity. By studying the physical and chemical behaviour of rocks, this course provides the methods required for linking geophysical data to geology.

Entry requirements

120 credits including 90 credits in science/engineering (physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, earth science, computer science, material science), including 15 credits in mathematics or physics and 10 credits in chemistry. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.

Education offerings

Each offering has its own dates and conditions. Closed offerings are retained as history and do not mean that a new application is open.
