Geophysical methods of prospecting and prospecting for mineral deposits is science-based section of geophysics designed for exploring the top beds of the Earth, exploration and prospecting for mineral deposits, engineering-geological, hydrogeological and other surveys.
The present day geophysics is the study of the natural resources of the Earth, environmental protection, control over nuclear tests, making forecasts of weather and natural disasters. In addition, geophysicists conduct research on the World Ocean and space research. Geophysicists are searching and prospecting for ore, oil and gas deposits on land and on the shelf of the seas.
Geophysicists work in research and design companies, in geological exploration and oil production companies.
This is a profession for attentive people with an analytical mindset who are not afraid to work in the field and away from home.
