Physical Properties of Rocks

Education facts

Code: 1GE053

Geophysics provides 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 behaviour of rocks, geophysical data can be linked to geology. The course is aimed at geophysicists as well as geology students with a good math/physics background.

Entry requirements

120 credits including (1) 75 credits in physics and mathematics or (2) 75 credits in earth science, 15 credits in physics and 15 credits in mathematics. 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.
