摘要: Just a few meters below the Earth's surface lie features of great importance, from geological faults which can produce devastating earthquakes, to lost archaeological treasures. This refreshing, up-to-date book explores foundations interpretation theory and latest developments in near-surface techniques, used complement traditional geophysical methods for deep-exploration targets. Clear but rigorous, explains practice simple physical terms, supported by intermediate-level mathematics. Techniques covered include magnetics, resistivity, seismic reflection refraction, waves, induced polarization, self-potential, electromagnetic induction, ground-penetrating radar, magnetic resonance, interferometry, seismoelectric more. Sections on data analysis inverse are provided chapters illustrated case studies, giving students professionals tools plan, conduct analyze survey. is an important textbook advanced-undergraduate graduate geophysics valuable reference practising geophysicists, geologists, hydrologists, archaeologists, civil geotechnical engineers.
