The purpose of this course is to give fundamentals of potential field theory applied to geophysical prospecting, with a particular focus on gravity field and an introduction to magnetic field.

• Potential field theory
• Geophysical anomalies, field measurements, studies scales
• Tools for forward and inverse problems in potential fields interpretation - Applications to reservoir studies

By the end of this course you will be able to:

• Understand and apply basic concepts and classical processing to gravity and magnetic prospecting data.
• Interpret these geophysical data in relation with geological informations.
