An Introduction to Geophysical Exploration (Geoscience Texts Volume 4)

The second edition of this text not only takes into account contemporary developments in exploration geophysics, but also incorporates suggestions made by readers of the first edition. It includes chapters on radiometric surveying and geophysical borehole logging, and there are new sections on verticle seismic profiling, marine gravimeters, time domain electromagnetic methods, non-contacting resistivity measurements and ground penetrating radar. The treatment of three-dimensional seismic stratigraphy has been expanded. The authors have incorporated the application of the surveying methods into the relevant chapters on techniques rather than dealing with applications in a separate chapter. The references and suggestions for further reading have been brought up to date, and each main chapter concludes with a set of problems.
