Synopsis:

This book focuses on the methods and techniques of shallow subsurface geophysical exploration. The book weighs the relative utility of various methods, including seismic methods, refraction seismology, the new technique of reflection seismology, electrical resistivity, and micro-gravity investigations, and details their application to exploration activities at shallow depths. Applications to shallow as well as deep survey are elucidated, compared, and contrasted. Throughtout, the book presents examples, case histories, and computer programs for the Macintosh designed to help the reader gain hands-on experience at shallow target exploration. In addition, spreadsheet templates that support data reduction techniques are included, with instructions on how to access the templates, change cell values, and study the effects.
