Geophysics deals with
the time varying physical aspects of the earth. The aim of geophysics,
as applied to the body of the earth, is to determine the composition and
state of the interior, and the manner in which internal processes
produce the observed features of the earth's surface.
The objectives of the
courses offered :
-
To improve better
understanding of the solid earth, in particular the processes that
result in the movement and deformation of the tectonic plates.
-
To study all
aspects of seismology such as earthquake mechanism, instrumentation
and observation, earthquake prediction and earthquake hazard reduction
research activities for further understanding of the processes
responsible for causing earthquakes, studies of the earth's crust
using geophysical methods, engineering application of geophysics,
analysis of geomagnetic observations, paleomagnetic and archeomagnetic
studies, data processing of the earthquake, explosion and geomagnetic
data and exploration of the hydrocarbon and mineral deposits.
