Course Objective

The course aims to estimate the parameters (depth, form, etc.) of different geological structures in underground by using data process method.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	To be able to repeat the undergraduate knowledge of related subjects shortly.
2	To be able to understand the advanced mathematical theories of course subjects,
3	To be able to examine the geophysical transforms (Fourier, Hartley, Hilbert, etc.).
4	To be able to apply these transform methods to the potential fields.
5	To be able tointerpret theunderground structures by using estimatings of structure parameters.
