Sinossi
This book provides a comprehensive and authoritative survey of modern geophysical methods used in prospecting for natural resources and in civil engineering, hydrogeology and environmental investigations. It is written with an emphasis on physical explanations and practical applications.
The main geophysical methods - magnetic, gravity, electrical, electromagnetic (including radar), induced polarization, seismic, radioactivity and well-logging - are all covered in separate chapters, and there is a chapter dealing with topics such as GPS, optimum line spacing and the efficient integration of different geophysical methods.
Each chapter contains the necessary theory, brief descriptions of instruments and field procedure, sources of anomalies and their interpretation and case studies. Worked examples and problems are provided wherever possible.
This completely revised and updated fifth edition contains extensive new material on ground penetrating radar, micromagnetic and microgravity measurements, and on environmental and archaeological applications.
Principles of Applied Geophysics is essential reading for all earth science undergraduates and postgraduates studying applied geophysics, as well as practising geophysicists and civil and environmental engineers who require an up-to-date overview of the subject.
