To provide a comprehensive, qualitatively accessible framework of applied and environmental geophysical techniques for subsurface investigation and resource exploration.
Synthesized field methodologies across mineral, hydrocarbon, and groundwater exploration as well as civil engineering and environmental assessments.
Integrated qualitative mechanical and physical descriptions alongside boxed mathematical formulations, extensive case histories, and photographic field documentation.
Surveyed emerging geophysical modalities, including controlled-source electromagnetics, magnetic resonance sounding, airborne gravity, and down-hole surveying.
Expanded traditional geophysical coverage to encompass forensic, archaeological, glaciological, agricultural, and bio-geophysical applications.
Detailed advanced investigative techniques, including shear-wave seismic refraction, sub-bottom profiling, radioactivity surveying, and unexploded ordnance detection.
Compiled reference datasets detailing the physio-chemical characteristics of diverse geological, engineering, and environmental materials.
