Experimental geophysics is a branch of geophysics that focuses on conducting physical experiments to study the behavior and properties of Earth materials under various conditions. Researchers in this field use controlled laboratory experiments, field measurements, and numerical modeling to investigate a wide range of geophysical processes such as seismic waves, rock deformation, fluid flow in porous media, and magnetic field variations. The goal of experimental geophysics is to improve our understanding of the Earth's structure and dynamics, as well as to develop new techniques for exploring and monitoring our planet.
