    About this ebook

    Covers the fundamentals of all currently used methods (seismic, electrical, electromagnetic, gravity, magnetic, borehole logging and remote sensing) and pays special attention to the seismic refraction and electrical resistivity techniques which are the ones most commonly used in engineering and groundwater geophysics. The main changes in this new edition of Applied Geophysics for Engineers and Geologists, apart from a general updating, and conversion to SI units, is a more extensive treatment of electromagnetic and induced polarisation methods, and of geophysical borehole logging. The seismic reflection method is also treated more fully in view of its great importance in petroleum prospecting. Problems, with answers are also included. Taken together, the changes are so great that this is virtually a new book, as is suggested by the change in title

      Inconstants of Nature: If the constitution of nature itself were changing in time, how would you know?

      Jan 23, 2014

      Why should the future resemble the past? Well, for one thing, it always has. But that is itself an observation from the past. As the philosopher David Hume pointed out in the middle of the 18th century, we can’t use our experience in the past to argu

      Sep 8, 2021

      The deep sea is an alien place. It seems that almost every trip to the ocean floor returns with the discovery of a new creature, structure or process that baffles scientists. That’s because, until now, it’s been too challenging to catalogue everythin

      Did Volcanic ‘Geoengineering’ Cause a Huge Extinction?

      Jun 4, 2017

      A volcanic eruption 440 million years ago may have been so severe it killed off most of the animals that existed at the time. The mass extinction, one of the five largest in Earth’s history that came at the end of the Ordivician geological period, m
