Exploration geophysics is the practical application of physical methods ( such as seismic, gravitational, magnetic, electrical and electromagnetic ) to measure the physical properties of rocks, and in particular, to detect the measurable physical differences between rocks that contain ore deposits or hydrocarbons and those without.

Seismic waves produced by explosions or vibrating controlled sources are one of the primary methods of underground exploration in geophysics ( in addition to many different electromagnetic methods such as induced polarization and magnetotellurics ).

As such, they are relevant in geophysics and meteorology where they form part of the solutions for atmospheric and ocean waves.

* Gamma is also a non-SI unit of measure of magnetic flux density, sometimes used in geophysics, equal to 1 nanotesla ( nT ).

In geophysics, the Rayleigh number is of fundamental importance: it indicates the presence and strength of convection within a fluid body such as the Earth's mantle.

In geophysics, the usual definition for the Z-transform is a power series in as opposed to.

In geophysics, these anomalies are often further reduced by removing from them the attraction of the topography, which for a flat, horizontal plate ( Bouguer plate ) of thickness H is given by

Glaciology is an interdisciplinary earth science that integrates geophysics, geology, physical geography, geomorphology, climatology, meteorology, hydrology, biology, and ecology.

Golding's advice was based on Gea, an alternative spelling for the name of the Greek goddess, which is used as prefix in geology, geophysics and geochemistry.

Amongst the fields that use this technique are geophysics ( because it avoids having to dig into the substrate ) and the semiconductor industry also use it ( for the similar reason that it is non-intrusive ) for testing bulk silicon wafers.

One is the mathematical-physical-chemical subject group, which includes mathematics, computer science, actuarial science, mathematical economy, statistics, physics, astronomy, geophysics, meteorology, biophysics, chemistry, environmental chemistry, biochemistry and nano-science.

It is the UK adhering organisation to the International Astronomical Union and a member of the Science Council, and encourages and promotes the study of astronomy, solar-system science, geophysics and closely related branches of science.

The method is used in radiology, archaeology, biology, geophysics, oceanography, materials science, astrophysics, quantum Information, and other sciences.

The British Geophysical Association ( BGS ) is a joint association of the Royal Astronomical Society and the Geological Society of London, which advances the interests of geophysics and geophysicists within the UK.

Membership of the society is open to fellows of either the Royal Astronomical Society of The Geological Society who inform their respective membership secretaries of their interest in geophysics.

Ultimately the paper concluded that there is a need to increase awareness of geophysics in post-16 education environments by including geophysics topics in secondary school examinations.

It also suggested that there is an urgent need to develop geophysics courses for physics teachers, such as the Teacher Scientist Network at the Norwich Research Park and the Seismology in Schools project.

The German Geophysical Society (, DGG ) is a society for geophysics in Germany ; it was founded in 1922 in Leipzig, Germany on the initiative of the great seismologist Emil Wiechert, as the Deutsche Seismologische Gesellschaft ( German Seismological Society ) but changed its name into the current one in 1924.

The term is also interchangeable with the geographically weighted PCAs in geophysics.

The APEGGA is a standards guideline of professional practice to uphold the protection of public interest for engineering, Geoscientists and geophysics in Alberta.

In geophysics, the free-air gravity anomaly, often simply called the free-air anomaly, is the measured gravity anomaly after a free-air correction is applied to correct for the elevation at which a measurement is made.

The word wavelet has been used for decades in digital signal processing and exploration geophysics.

The techniques employed by other earth science disciplines ( such as geochemistry, mineralogy, geophysics, petrology and structural geology ) might all be used to understand, describe, and exploit an ore deposit.

The invariance principle formulated by Hambardzumyan and various modifications of this principle presently are being widely used to solve extremely complicated problems in astrophysics, mathematical and theoretical physics, electronics, geophysics, atmospheric physics, and other areas of science.

In geophysics a similar technique ( called electrical resistivity tomography ) is used using electrodes on the surface of the earth or in bore holes to locate resistivity anomalies, and in industrial process monitoring the arrays of electrodes are used for example to monitor mixtures of conductive fluids in vessels or pipes.

In that context the technique is usually called electrical resistance tomography ( note the slight contrast to the name used in geophysics ).

: 1, 000, 000, 000 ( or 10 < sup > 9 </ sup >) γ ( gammas ), used in geophysics.

Rather local anomalies are used in applied geophysics: if they are positive, this may indicate metallic ores.

The Rossby parameter ( or simply beta ) is a number used in geophysics and meteorology which arises due to the meridional variation of the Coriolis force caused by the spherical shape of the Earth.

In geophysics, the term is used to refer to a wavy almost-circular region produced by perturbing the equatorial current sheet in a magnetic field whose shape resembles a tutu sticking out from a ballerina's waist.

Upward continuation is a method used in oil exploration and geophysics to estimate the values of a gravitational or magnetic field by using measurements at a lower elevation and extrapolating upward, assuming continuity.

Exploration geophysics can be used to directly detect the target style of mineralisation, via measuring its physical properties directly.

Exploration geophysics is also used to map the subsurface structure of a region, to elucidate the underlying structures, spatial distribution of rock units, and to detect structures such as faults, folds and intrusive rocks.
