This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new surface-based geophysical method of subsurface exploration, Seismic Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) was compared to two other traditionally used surface-based geophysical methods, Electrical Resistivity and Microgravity. The Seismic FWI method was shown to be capable of identifying subsurface anomalies, in this case, flooded underground mine workings, in the geologic setting of this particular site, with less limitations than the other two techniques. This was field verified with confirmation drilling of suspect anomalies and non-suspect locations and down the borehole sonar mapping of the mine workings when encountered. However, it should be noted, that the Seismic FWI method is nearly twice the cost of the other two geophysical methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subsurface investigation is the most important phase of any civil engineering construction or development activities. The geologic conditions can be extremely complex, variable, and subject to change with time; soil test borings and in-situ tests are employed to obtain subsoil information. Resistivity Imaging (RI) is a non-destructive, fast and cost-effective method of site investigation and soil characterization. Site Investigation using Resistivity Imaging aims to summarize pertinent details of RI in site investigation for geotechnical and geo-environmental applications. It aims to bridge the gap that currently exists between the geotechnical/geo-environmental and geophysical engineering community. The geotechnical and geo-environmental engineers will be able to use annd understand geophysical data and utilize the information for their design. Features: First comprehensive handbook aimed at engineers that summarises pertinent details of Resitivity Imaging (RI) in site investigation for geotechnical and geo-environmental applications. for geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineers, making it possible to interpret geophysical data and utilize the information for their design. explanining the advantages of RI over conventional site investigations: continuous image, large coverage, low cost, quick and easy data processing. It will be a comprehensive handbook for the application of RI in geotechnical and geo-environmental site investigations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Special Issue is focused on recent and upcoming advances in the combined application of remote sensing and applied geophysics. Applied geophysics analyzes the distribution of physical properties in the subsurface for a wide range of geological, engineering, and environmental applications at different scales. Seismic, electrical, magnetic, and electromagnetic methods are among the most applied and well-established geophysical techniques. These methods share the advantages of being non-invasive and exploring wide areas of investigation with respect to conventional methods (e.g., drilling). Geophysical surveys are usually carried out deploying or moving the appropriate instrumentation directly on the ground surface. However, recent technological advances have resulting in the development of innovative acquisition systems becoming more typical of the remote sensing community (e.g., airborne surveys). While applied geophysics mainly focuses on the subsurface, typical remote sensing techniques have the ability to accurately image the Earth’s surface with high-resolution investigations carried out by means of terrestrial, airborne, or satellite-based platforms. The integration of surface and subsurface information is often crucial for several purposes, including the processing of geophysical data, the characterization and time-lapse monitoring of surface and near-surface targets, and the reconstruction of highly detailed and comprehensive 3D models of the investigated areas. Recent contributions showing the added value of surface reconstruction and/or monitoring in the processing, interpretation, and cross-comparison of geophysical techniques for archaeological, environmental, and engineering studies are collected in this book. Pioneering geophysical acquisitions by means of innovative remote systems are also presented.

Download or read book Experiences with Electrical Resistivity Surveys on Foundation and Subsurface Investigations in Southern California written by Charles S. Howe and published by . This book was released on 1957 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a number of years geophysical methods of subsurface surveys have been employed in geology, locating of petroleum and ore bodies, ground water studies, foundation studies for many types of structures, and other fields. These methods have utilized field apparatus, such as seismic and electrical resistivity, to locate or plot these unknown subsurface formations. These two methods are probably the most commonly used. Many public and private agencies, as well as individuals, have adopted the electrical resistivity apparatus as standard equipment, among them many state highway departments, consulting geologists, governmental engineering agencies such as the Bureau of Reclamation, water districts, soil engineers, and oil companies. Highlights in the usefulness of this tool as reported by these agencies, include the economical determination of borrow pit sources, ground water, soundness and faulting of rock formations, depths of bed rock, and oil well logging. The electrical device utilizes the principle that soil and rock of different character offer varying resistances to the flow of electrical current, whereas other methods employ basic principles such as the passage of sound vibration, etc.
Download or read book An Introduction to Geophysical Exploration written by Philip Kearey and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the well-established Kearey and Brooks text is fully updated to reflect the important developments in geophysical methods since the production of the previous edition. The broad scope of previous editions is maintained, with even greater clarity of explanations from the revised text and extensively revised figures. Each of the major geophysical methods is treated systematically developing the theory behind the method and detailing the instrumentation, field data acquisition techniques, data processing and interpretation methods. The practical application of each method to such diverse exploration applications as petroleum, groundwater, engineering, environmental and forensic is shown by case histories. The mathematics required in order to understand the text is purposely kept to a minimum, so the book is suitable for courses taken in geophysics by all undergraduate students. It will also be of use to postgraduate students who might wish to include geophysics in their studies and to all professional geologists who wish to discover the breadth of the subject in connection with their own work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking work is the first to cover the fundamentals of hydrogeophysics from both the hydrogeological and geophysical perspectives. Authored by leading experts and expert groups, the book starts out by explaining the fundamentals of hydrological characterization, with focus on hydrological data acquisition and measurement analysis as well as geostatistical approaches. The fundamentals of geophysical characterization are then at length, including the geophysical techniques that are often used for hydrogeological characterization. Unlike other books, the geophysical methods and petrophysical discussions presented here emphasize the theory, assumptions, approaches, and interpretations that are particularly important for hydrogeological applications. A series of hydrogeophysical case studies illustrate hydrogeophysical approaches for mapping hydrological units, estimation of hydrogeological parameters, and monitoring of hydrogeological processes. Finally, the book concludes with hydrogeophysical frontiers, i.e. on emerging technologies and stochastic hydrogeophysical inversion approaches.
