The subject Applied Geophysics focuses on examining the structure and dynamics of the earth with studies of physical phenomena such as the earth's magnetic field, gravity field, electrical conductivity, seismic wave propagation speed and thermal conductivity.
The research within Applied Geophysics has its focus on exploration-related issues. This includes exploration for mineral and water resources, which is a growing problem in Sweden and not least internationally. It also includes environmentally-related problems with a focus on pollution and challenges with planning and permits/conditions for facilities in the ground. A substantial part of the research that the group conducts is aimed at developing prospecting methods for mineral deposits, as well as modeling the upper parts of the bedrock in known ore areas together with other experts at the department.
