Gravity and Magnetics for Explorationists
| 21 – 25 July 2025 | Abu Dhabi | 07 – 11 July 2025 | Dubai | 03 – 07 Nov. 2025 | Abu Dhabi |
Course Overview:
This course provides a comprehensive overview of marine spatial planning (MSP) and environmental impact assessment (EIA) within the context of sustainable marine resource management. Participants will learn to utilize national and international legislation governing marine environments to conduct data acquisition, analysis, and prepare scientific reports. Non-Seismic methods such as gravity and magnetics provide valuable complementary information about the subsurface that is not provided by Seismic methods. In this course you will learn about these techniques and their use in the search for hydrocarbons,
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
1.Understand the principles and importance of marine spatial planning in sustainable marine resource management.
2.Familiarize with national and international legislation relevant to marine environments and exploitation activities.
3.Develop skills in conducting data acquisition and analysis techniques specific to marine environments.
4.Learn to prepare scientific reports based on collected data and analysis findings.
5.Gain proficiency in assisting with sea area evaluation processes.
6.Acquire knowledge and techniques for preparing planning applications in accordance with regulatory requirements.
7.Learn to provide expert assistance to clients involved in marine exploitation while prioritizing environmental conservation. After attending the course, participants will be able to:
*Fundamentals of potential theory
Application of the theory to geology of the Earth’s crust
Acquisition techniques and parameters for gravity and magnetic surveys
Conventional and innovative two-dimensional filtering techniques used to enhance potential field data
Magnetic depth estimation techniques
Gravity and magnetic gradiometry
Airborne gravity methods
Define and classify variations in the earth’s gravity and magnetic fields, and associate these signatures with geologic features within the earth’s crust.
Interpret gravity/magnetic anomalies for structure, tectonics, lighologic and basement variations.
Distinguish between when to use gravity vs. magnetics to map geology of interest. Assess the utility of gravity and magnetic to map geology of interest. Assess the utility of gravity and magnetics for imaging the geologic target, and participate in design of new acquisition.
Target Audiance:
Oversee and evaluate the interpretation process of gravity and magnetic data, both qualitative products and quantitative products. All those involved in the field of marine science, environmental science, marine policy, or related fields This course is designed for geologists and geophysicists with interests in potential fields and regional tectonics.
