This study of site surveys brings together the full range of site surveying techniques to provide a unified approach to marine and land-based resolution surveying. Detailed descriptions are given of digital seismic survey methods, hydrographic analogue search and survey tools, non-seismic survey techniques, and positioning systems, including GPS. Brite spot analysis, and health and safety considerations for site surveys are also discussed. Numerous case studies are used to show the application of theory in everyday situations.

This is the most detailed biography of Prussian general and intellectual Carl Phillip Gottleib von Clausewitz.
