Geophysical Methods

This book includes a complete background on geophysical methods of exploration, practices, and case histories for a better understanding of the subject of geophysics and its applicability in diverse fields of exploration. It details both conventional and advanced geophysical techniques, with descriptions of the physics involved in different methodologies. Divided into 16 chapters, the book includes detailed discussions of the theory of individual methods, the operation of specific instruments, the presentation of results, and their interpretation.
