Introduction of Special Physics Topics (Geophysics) through the Use of Physics Laboratory Projects

American Journal of Physics, 1970
A method is presented in which topics of a direct technological application are studied by students in technology taking a general physics course. It is found that student motivation is enhanced, and their interest in the over-all course increased, by such a presentation.

Ring-laser tests of fundamental physics and geophysics

Reports on Progress in Physics, 1997
HeNe ring-laser gyros are standard sensors in inertial guidance; mirror reflectances now reach 99.9999%. Present research instruments have an area of , a passive quality factor of , and a resolution of the frequency difference of counter-rotating optical beams approaching microhertz.

Joint Bayesian inversion based on rock-physics prior modeling for the estimation of spatially correlated reservoir properties

Geophysics, 2018
The joint inversion of seismic data for elastic and petrophysical properties is an inverse problem with a nonunique solution. There are several factors that impact the accuracy of the results, such as the statistical rock-physics relations and ...

Simulations in Geophysics and Space Physics: Minisymposium Abstract

2007
High Performance Computing (HPC) enables increasingly complex computer models of physical processes to be built. Parallel computing, adaptive grids, and other computing tools are used to solve ever larger problems, but they also increase the complexity of the software significantly and can have an impact on the reliability of the software and the ...

Geophysical System Verification (GSV): A Physics-Based Alternative to Geophysical Prove-Outs for Munitions Response

2009
Abstract : This document highlights a more rigorous physics-based alternative to geophysical prove-outs (GPO): Geophysical System Verification (GSV). Over the last 15 years, numerous GPOs have been performed and a significant body of knowledge has accumulated documenting technology performance. This accumulated understanding, along with the recognition

Rock physics as the basis for inverting geophysical observations

SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts 2008, 2008
This is the first in a series of papers demonstrating the application of rock physics as the linchpin in inverting geophysical measurements to predict engineering and geologic rock and fluid properties. This paper establishes the importance of having accurate rock physics models for inversion.

6. Shock Wave Techniques for Geophysics and Planetary Physics

1987
Publisher Summary Shock wave techniques have a special place in the study of the earth's interior and the interiors of both the terrestrial and major plants because virtually the entire pressure and temperature ranges existing within these objects can be achieved in the laboratory.
