Research

The most significant research themes supported by funds in the last years characterize the main fields of research of the Department of Geophysics at the University of Miskolc. These projects concentrate or either basic or applied research. Some of them are or were international (Ruhr University, Bochum; University of Freiberg; La Sapienza University, Rome; Technical University of Helsinki have been involved). The general (the first five items) and particular fields characteristic of our research are as follows:

  • Development of applied geophysical methods
  • Development of data and information processing
  • Geophysical investigation for near-surface inhomogeneities
  • Forward numerical modelling of geophysical methods aiming at 1-D (homogeneous and horizontally layered i.e. one dimensional), 2-D (elongated structures, i.e. two-dimensional), 3-D ( three-dimensional) research
  • Development of inversion methods for geophysical interpretation
  • Methods development aiming at efficient geoparameter determination in applied and engineering geophysics
  • Problems of boundary determination by different geophysical methods
  • Development of joint inversion methods to investigate near surface 2-D (two-dimensional) and 3-D structures
  • Development of induced polarization (IP) data inversion interpretation to characterize geological structures
  • Development of environmental investigation with TAU transformation of IP data
  • Qualification of waste sites and their surroundings and geophysical methods development for this monitoring purpose
  • Investigation of laterally inhomogeneous near-surface structure by inversion of guided-wave data
  • Development of electromagnetic methods for more efficient and more stable searching for the geological information from the field data
  • New method for the determination of morphology of the geological structures using integrated intervallum inversion of well log data
  • Inhomogeneity delineation based on geophysical electromagnetic frequency sounding
  • Development of seismic and geoelectric tomography.
