Everett, Mark E., 1961-
Near-surface applied geophysics / Mark E. Everett, Texas A&M University. - First Edition - xiv, 403 pages : illustrations, color maps ; 26 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Data analysis -- Magnetics -- Electrical resistivity method -- Induced polarization and self-potential -- Seismic reflection and refraction -- Seismic surface wave analysis -- Electromagnetic induction -- Ground-penetrating radar -- Emerging techniques -- Linear inversion -- Nonlinear inversion: local methods -- Nonlinear inversion: global methods
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 the foundations of interpretation theory and the latest developments in near-surface techniques, used to complement traditional geophysical methods for deep-exploration targets. Clear but rigorous, the book explains theory and practice in simple physical terms, supported by intermediate-level mathematics.
