In the process of mastering this specialization, students become acquainted with physical fields of various origins: the natural fields surrounding us and artificially formed using specialized equipment. The study of the structure of physical fields allows us to solve a wide range of tasks, such as: studying the global geological structure of our planet, searching for mineral deposits (oil, gas, gold, diamonds, ore deposits and others), studying the geotechnical space of plots for future construction of buildings and structures for various purposes, the search for aquifers, monitoring and assessment of the state of geotechnical objects, and much more. Students gain knowledge about the propagation features of electromagnetic, acoustic, magnetic, gravitational and other fields, get acquainted with modern equipment used to perform geophysical research, the method of processing geophysical information in the latest software systems, as well as methods of constructing physical and geological models of the studied objects.
Specialists of this specialty are in demand in the market of geological and geophysical research for solving various geological and technological problems;
Specialists are trained to work with modern equipment and software systems, which increases their professional capacities;
Specialists know the content of regulatory documents and can conduct project documentation in various fields of exploration and geophysics;
Opportunity to engage in scientific activities at St. Petersburg Mining University along with training;
Possibility of included studies in foreign partner universities with the issuance of internationally recognized diplomas.
