Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the students should achieve the following learning outcomes:
* A familiarity with current leading-edge geophysical methods, including 4D, anisotropy, multicomponent, and controlled source EM.
* An understanding of the basic principle of these methods and how they have been applied in the industry.
* An understanding of the limitation of these methods and future development needs.

Assessment Information
| 100% continuous assessment with equal weighting on the four parts: i.e. time-lapse seismic, seismic anistropy, multicomponent seismic and controlled source E & M |
Special Arrangements
Disabled students will not be at a disadvantage for the majority of the course, as it is lecture and classroom-based.
