Introduction. Rock as a physical environment. Mass property of rocks: Density, Porosity, Permeability. Magnetic properties of rocks: magnetic properties for magnetic exploration, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility, paleomagnetic and archaeomagnetic research, magnetostratigraphy. Electrical properties of rocks: resistivity, permitivity,electrochemic activity, special electric properties. Radioactive properties of rocks. Thermal properties of rocks. Mechanical (engineering) properties of rocks. Inelastic and elastic constants of minerals and properties of rocks.
Student becomes familiar with the mathematical petrophysics ranging across microscopic to geographic scales from a perspective of strategic thinking rather than tactical cookbook recipes.
