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.

Features:

Discusses potential geophysical methods and applications in mineral exploration
Reviews natural hazard risk mitigation using geophysical methods
Covers surface, air, marine, and well logging geophysical applications in natural resource exploration
Includes electrical, electromagnetic, seismic, and radioactive geophysical methods supported by successful case histories
Strengthens mathematical and problem-solving skills covering all the geophysical aspects

This book is aimed at graduate and post-graduate students in applied geophysics, exploration geophysics, marine geophysics, engineering, and environmental geophysics.
