Aim and Content
This course gives an introduction to the different physical properties of rocks that affects seismic and electromagnetic wave propagation, fluid flow and heat conduction. The course deals with methods for estimating these properties from a knowledge of the composition and microstructure of the rocks. Special attention will be given to the acoustic and seismic properties of fluid-saturated porous rocks.
