Geophysical Research

Geophysical research is the study of the Earth’s physical properties and processes using various scientific methods. This includes examining the Earth's structure, gravitational and magnetic fields, seismic activity (like earthquakes), and its thermal properties. Researchers use these insights to better understand natural phenomena, explore natural resources, and assess environmental changes, such as climate change. By employing tools like satellites and sensors, geophysical research significantly contributes to fields such as geology, meteorology, and environmental science, helping us predict natural disasters, manage resources, and inform public policy.
