Welcome to our Applied Sciences Learning Program

VIDL Network is focused learning about Applied Science, a discipline of science that applies existing scientific knowledge to develop more practical applications, like technology or inventions. Within natural science, disciplines that are basic science, also called pure science, develop information to predict and perhaps explain—thus somehow understand—phenomena in the natural world. Applied science applies science to real world practice.

The learning objective is to take you through an introduction of the science (terms and definitions) to a discussion on the application of the science (how and when is it used and the why).

Corine Prieto is the founder and Managing Director of VIDL Network. Previously, she was the founder and CEO of IGC (Integrated Geophysics Corporation). For over 40 years, IGC partnered with global oil and gas companies on hydrocarbon and mineral exploration projects. IGC’s brought their unique capability to use potential field methods to these high-profile projects. Now Corine and her expert team, bring their potential fields learning to professionals and university students through this special online program.

Our Applied Sciences Learning Program is Unique

  • The program introduces you to Applied Sciences methods and shows you how to apply them in real-world projects.

  • The program is comprehensive. It includes over 80 online courses, projects to reinforce learning and resources that document how-to using real-world examples.

  • The program was created by industry experts for professionals and university students.

Airborne Gravity

Airborne Gravity was developed primarily for petroleum exploration, where it is an economical alternative to ground and shipborne surveys. The learning objective takes you through an introduction which starts with types of instrumentation to survey design, data processing and data quality control.

Environmental

Environmental Science covers the air we breathe, the water we drink, ground we walk on, the heat and cold we feel, the radiation we absorb, the decisions we make, and the consequences we reap. The process involves four main steps: basic research, applied research, regulation and outcome.

Gradiometry

Gravity gradiometry is the study and measurement of variations in the acceleration due to gravity. Gravity gradiometry is used by oil and mineral prospectors to measure the density of the subsurface, effectively the rate of change of rock properties.

Radiometrics

Airborne gamma-ray spectrometry is being used to identify and quantify the distribution of natural and man-made gamma emitting isotopes in the vicinity of nuclear power plants in order to assess the plant´s dose impact on members of the public.
