Opis

Engineering Geophysics has various unique applications. Present book discusses certain unique applications of these geophysical methods in conditions generally considered to be adverse to such applications. The objective of the book is to demonstrate efficacy of various techniques with little innovation in field procedures. Sub-surface imaging by means of geophysical survey is a powerful tool for site assessment and mapping which historically has been under-utilized world-over. Continuing improvements in survey equipment performance and automation have made large area surveys with a high data sample density possible. Advances in processing and imaging software have made it possible to detect, display, and interpret small geological features with great accuracy.
