Numerical investigations of Geophysical Data

Geophysic is concerned with the study of the earth’s properties, and it is of great importance to oil and mineral

exploration and in the environmental investigation. With the advanced in modern technology, enormous

geophysical data are now available from the ground measurements and airborne surveys. One of the crucial

tasks in geophysical investigation is to extract the important subsurface information and features of the earth

from the massive data, and numerical analysis and computational techniques play a vital role in the recent

progress and development in geophysics. The objective of the present MITACS Accelerate Internship is

twofold. First, numerical procedures will be developed to efficiently invert subsurface resistivity distribution.

Secondly, robust algorithms will be examined to solve an ill?posed inverse problem. The developed numerical

techniques will be tested using real ground data and magnetic data provided by the TerraNotes Ltd

Geophysics. The anticipated results of this project have potential applications in solving geophysical problems

of significance to Alberta industry.
