geofysikaalisilla

Geofysikaalisilla is the plural adessive form of the Finnish adjective geofysikaalinen, meaning geophysical. It is used in Finnish to describe plural nouns when indicating that something relates to or uses geophysical methods or data, typically in phrases such as geofysikaalisilla menetelmillä (with geophysical methods) or geofysikaalisilla tutkimuksilla (in geophysical investigations).

Geofysikaaliset tutkimukset belong to the field of geophysics, the branch of earth science that studies the physical properties and processes of the Earth through non-invasive measurements. Geophysical methods commonly used include seismic methods (refraction and reflection), gravity surveys, magnetic surveys, electrical resistivity tomography, magnetotellurics, and other electromagnetic techniques, as well as remote sensing. The aim is to image subsurface structures, characterize material properties, locate resources, monitor groundwater, and assess environmental conditions or engineering sites.

In Finnish scientific writing, the form geofysikaalisilla is used to describe how data were collected or which methods were employed. It signals that the approach is based on geophysical principles rather than direct sampling. Examples include: Geofysikaalisilla tutkimuksilla voidaan kartoittaa maaperän rakenteita, Geofysikaalisilla menetelmillä voidaan erotella kallioperän kerroksia.

Geofysikaalisilla links to fields such as geology, hydrogeology, mineral and energy exploration, environmental geophysics, and engineering geology. Katso myös geofysiikka, geofysikaaliset menetelmät, ympäristögeofysiikka.
