Learning outcomes
Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will have the ability to choose appropriate geophysical methodologies for the object of his study, to take part to the surveys and to interpretate the results.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
- The student will be assessed on his/her demonstrated ability to discuss the main course contents During the oral exam the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material and be able to discuss the reading matter thoughtfully and with propriety of expression.

Syllabus
The different geophysical methods for the subsoil exploration at very low depth: • GPR: survey planning and execution; the “Time Slices” output. • Geoelectrical methods>>geoelectrical tomographies at different scales; induced polarisation • Some short examples of aerial images used to individuate underground archaeologic objects Study of Cultural Heritage buildings or other objects. Different classical geophysical methods have been adapted to work on the surfaces of historical buildings: • micro-seismics: profiles. tomographies, SST; • very high frequency GPR; • geoelectrical tomographies • Interferometric Radar (IBIS) A series of in-field exercitations will be made to allow the students to test the different instrumentations and equipments.
