| Zusammenfassung: | Geophysical techniques provide useful information about the subsurface with suitable techniques chosen for particular environments or problems. Thus resistivity would be considered more useful than gravity for the detection of contaminant plumes whereas gravity is ideal for the detection of cavities. There are two major advantages in adopting a geophysical approach to studying the subsurface: the non-destructive and very cost-effective nature of most geophysical surveys. This book should be of great benefit to undergraduate and postgraduate students who are taking geology or geophysics courses. It is also aimed at a wider audience, those who need to know what exists below the surface and those to whom the state of that subsurface, and hence to a large extent our environmental well being, is important. Geophysics is a science that transcends the usual disciplinary boundaries, so this book will also be beneficial for engineers, geologists, planners, archaeologists, hydrologists, geographers and environmental scientists. Equations in this book are restricted to those that are essential to provide a better understanding of a particular technique or specific theoretical concept. High school mathematics is all that is required to comprehend their use. |

High school mathematics is all that is required to comprehend their use.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Geophysics</subfield><subfield code="x">Technique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Geophysics</subfield><subfield code="x">Environmental aspects.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Géophysique</subfield><subfield code="x">Technique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Géophysique</subfield><subfield code="x">Aspect de l'environnement.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Earth Sciences</subfield><subfield code="x">Geography.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Earth Sciences</subfield><subfield code="x">Geology.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Geophysics</subfield><subfield code="x">Environmental aspects</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Geophysics</subfield><subfield code="x">Technique</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Gibson, Paul J.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">George, Dorothy M.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="t">Environmental applications of geophysical surveying techniques</subfield><subfield code="d">New York : Nova Publishers, [2013]</subfield><subfield code="z">9781626184459 (hardcover)</subfield><subfield code="w">(DLC) 2013009424</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=597658</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ProQuest Ebook Central</subfield><subfield code="b">EBLB</subfield><subfield code="n">EBL3022518</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ebrary</subfield><subfield code="b">EBRY</subfield><subfield code="n">ebr10726557</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBSCOhost</subfield><subfield code="b">EBSC</subfield><subfield code="n">597658</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="994" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">92</subfield><subfield code="b">GEBAY</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="049" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">DE-863</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

Geophysical techniques provide useful information about the subsurface with suitable techniques chosen for particular environments or problems. Thus resistivity would be considered more useful than gravity for the detection of contaminant plumes whereas gravity is ideal for the detection of cavities. There are two major advantages in adopting a geophysical approach to studying the subsurface: the non-destructive and very cost-effective nature of most geophysical surveys. This book should be of great benefit to undergraduate and postgraduate students who are taking geology or geophysics courses. It is also aimed at a wider audience, those who need to know what exists below the surface and those to whom the state of that subsurface, and hence to a large extent our environmental well being, is important. Geophysics is a science that transcends the usual disciplinary boundaries, so this book will also be beneficial for engineers, geologists, planners, archaeologists, hydrologists, geographers and environmental scientists. Equations in this book are restricted to those that are essential to provide a better understanding of a particular technique or specific theoretical concept.
