2
On tap for the day Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography Just a reminder to hand in the pole strength problem (done in class the Thursday before Thanksgiving break) and Tuesday’s group problems (these count 20 points - total) Group problems are posted on the class page. I also have copies raise hand if you want one. Review and discuss solutions Review material for the exam Your questions Example test questions for take-home study Hand in problems 7.1-3 and 4 & 5 before leaving or put in my mail box this afternoon (these count 50 points)
3
Breakout problems > Group 1 Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography
4
Each group had one of these source geometry evaluation problems Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography
5
In each case, you start by noting diagnostic positions along the anomaly profile Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography
6
For group 1 Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography 1.25 2.05 2.9 Sphere or vertical cylinder? Depth?
7
For groups 2 and 3 Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography Group 2: cylinder – 10km Group 3: cylinder – 10km
8
Group 2 – problem 1 Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

Problem 1 Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography In the class problem set handout, the depth z was set equal to 1.9m. Think about the rationale involved in deciding on the depth to the center of the cylindrical approximation of the wall. Using 1.9m we get Z max =4.3nT. Using 1.75m, we get 5.46 nT. Although a minor difference, which do you think yields the better approximation? Neither anomaly would be detectable above a background noise level of ±5nT. Actually worked for you in the problem set handout. z in either case represents depth to center!
10
If you double the depth, the anomaly amplitude drops by … Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography At a depth of 1 meter Z max is 29.26. At a depth of 2 meters Z max is 3.66. Z max varies inversely as the cube of the depth. If the depth is doubled, Z max will decrease to one-eighth of its former value.
11
Group 3 – problem 1 Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography The first question usually asked before beginning a geophysical investigation of any kind is “Will this method provide the information I want?” That usually means “Can I detect the object(s) I want to find?” R=1m Z=3m Burial Chamber Relative susceptibility contrast =-0.0001emu. Surface
12
And here? Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography
13
The anomalies in group problems 2 and 3 Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography hold another lesson: where is 0?
14
Problem 2 – groups 2 and 3 Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography
15
General review problems – see handout Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography
16
Problems 2 and 3 are similar Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography
17
4 & 5 … Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography
18
Look over the remainder of these problems for next time – see if you have any difficulties Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography And bring questions to class!
19
Bring a pencil, ruler, eraser and calculator Show your work! Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography I will hand out an equation list. It will look something like that posted on the class page. See http://pages.geo.wvu.edu/~wilson/geol454/equationlist.pdf Or access from link on session 30.
20
For now, let’s get started on three group problems – Problem 1: Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography
21
Problem 2: Underground storage tank or missile silo. See diagnostic relationships Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography
22
Another – gravity vs mag Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography
23
Just some reminders Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography Remember - hand in the pole strength problem (done in class the Thursday before Thanksgiving break) and Tuesday’s group problems. (these count 20 points) ALSO - Hand in problems 7-1 through 7-3, 4 & 5 before leaving or put them in my mail box. We will go over them next Tuesday Bring your questions to class for a final review session, next Tuesday, December 9 th. Work over the group problems and general review problems. We will review these at the start of next Tuesday’s session. Final is from 11am-1pm on Tuesday, December 16 th.
