STRUCTURAL COMPOSITION OF ROCK GEOPHYSICS AS A MODERN MININGSCIENCE
The publication is devoted to the justification of the expanded composition of the rock geophysics presented as one of the most important science in the general structure and geophysics as one component in a complex of geological sciences. The role and relevance of mining geophysics is pointed out - specific scientific discipline, to ensure the effective functioning and development of solid mineral deposits in the current difficult circumstances, when the depth of mining operations reach 3500... 4000 m. General mining geophysics is singled out in the composition of general geophysics, and in general geophysics (in a relatively narrow sense of the term) - mining physics. At the same time the role of academician V.V. Rzhevsky as the founder of scientific and educational discipline «Physics of rocks» is highlighted. A structured composition of rock geophysics, as well as the composition of rock physics - one of the modern mining sciences and the central part of the mining geophysics is described in details. The main research areas of physics as a mining complex and at the same time as the related scientific disciplines are listed
