Principles of Applied Geophysics

Book News, Inc.
Provides a survey of modern geophysical methods used in prospecting for natural resources and in civil engineering, hydrology, and environmental investigations, emphasizing physical explanations and practical applications. Chapters are devoted to each of the following geophysical methods: magnetic, gravity, electrical, electromagnetic (including radar), induced polarization, seismic, radioactivity, and well-logging. There is also a chapter on 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. Intended for earth science students studying applied geophysics. -- Copyright © 1999 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR All rights reserved
