UFAZ is happy to announce the start of SEG ASOIU International Geophysical Field Camp which is the result of a cooperation between SEG, UFAZ and ASOIU. Participants consist of 25 students from ASOIU, UFAZ, Khazar University, Istanbul Technical University and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals of Saudi Arabia.
On July 24, the field started with the opening ceremony at
UFAZ, in presence of the sponsors UFAZ, BP and EI Group. It will continue on the field in Astara, applying geophysical techniques in the field (Georadar, Seismic and Electrical Resistivity) as well as some geochemistry tools (water pH and conductivity probes). The students will learn how to use this tool on the field as well as process and interpret the data. Four instructors are from UFAZ staff and UFAZ alumni and one instructor from ASOIU.
The objective will be to image groundwater in the region of Astara, define the water level and heterogeneity of the underground to determine the capacity and quality of the aquifer.
The results will be presented at the end of the week at UFAZ in front of experts of water management in Azerbaijan and geophysicists.
