Geophysics investigates the earth with the help of physical methods (e.g. measurements of electromagnetic fields) and helps to understand the interior processes of the inner earth (e.g. magnetism, earthquakes), surface-near processes (e.g. the impact of seismic waves to buildings), surface-near investigation of structures for engineering purposes (e.g. waste site investigation) and processes on the planets of our solar system.

By calibrating geological and geophysical results, geological structures and non-geological anomalies can be verified or dertermined with a much higher effiency as with one discipline alone.
