Overview
All graduate students of the Geophysical Engineering program of Montana Technological University, regardless of choice, are encouraged to begin participation in a variety of research and field exploration projects early in the program.
Recent research projects in the department include:
- Oil Reservoir Characterization
- Seismic Processing/Interpretation
- Electrical Resistivity Studies
- Digital Acoustic Sensing (DAS)
- Remote Sensing Analysis
- Ground Penetrating Radar Studies
- Shallow Seismic Investigations
- Hydrogeophysics
