Description
This handy pocket-sized field guide provides practical informationand assistance to anyone engaged in small-scale surveys on theground. Fully revised and updated throughout, the FourthEdition includes comprehensive updates on the use of GPR andGPS and new sections on surface wave seismics and towed arraysystems. This has become the standard text in this area for use inthe field and the experience of the two authors will ensure thebook retains its place as one of the most popular handbooks inapplied geophysics.
* Fully revised and updated to incorporate new developments inthe field;
* Focus on quality control of the acquisition of data and basicfield interpretation;
* User-friendly, accessible writing style;
* Includes updates on Ground Penetrating Radar and the use ofGPS;
* New section on surface wave methods.

Reviews / Votes
"Overall, Field Geophysics--one of several publishedby Wiley-Blackwell in their Geological Field Guide Series--isa good practical introductory reference book for a geophysicaltechnician beginning their career or a quick refresher for someoneusing an instrument they haven't picked up for manyyears."
