The goal of the course is to introduce students with gravity and magnetic field research methods. Tasks of the course, that includes acquisition of knowledge, skills and competences are: 1. to learn physical background of discussed geophysical methods. 2. to learn basic calculation methods and various interpretation methods. 3. identify shortcomings and advantages of geophysical methods 4. to obtain competences in practical application of discussed methods. After successfully completing course, students have gained basic knowledge about Earth gravity and magnetic field exploration methods. Students have knowledge of basic calculation methods and interpretation methods, that are applied in discussed geophysical exploration methods. Students are able to conduct basic geophysical measurements in the field with gravity and magnetic field measurement devices. Languages of instruction is Latvian and English.
