Near-Surface Geophysics / Малоглубинная геофизика

Much near-surface geophysics research and development has occurred since the announcements in early 1988 in GEOPHYSICS and THE LEADING EDGE that Stanley H. Ward was assembling a collection of papers for a new book tentatively titled Environmental Geophysics. The resulting 71 published papers filled three hardbound volumes—Review and Tutorial; Environmental and Groundwater; and Geotechnical. Those volumes were reprinted as a single thick paperback, Geotechnical and Environmental Geophysics. The paperback version in particular was a hit in the marketplace. Several universities continue to use it as a textbook for courses commonly called “Environmental Geophysics,” and graduate students, practicing professionals, and professors still use many of the papers as basic reference material. The book is the third-best seller in the history of SEG, trailing only Robert E. Sheriff’s Encyclopedic Dictionary of Applied Geophysics and Öz Yilmaz’s Seismic Data Analysis: Processing, Inversion, and Interpretation of Seismic Data. <...>
