Introduction to applied geophysics. Exploring the shallow subsurface / Введение в прикладную геофизику. Близповерхностные исследования

Presumably you are reading this book because you want to learn about exploring the subsurface. Your interest may be an active one in that you intend to actually go into the field and collect information; or you may be interested only in learning how subsurface information is gathered so you will be better equipped to judge recommendations for action based on field surveys. In either case you probably intend to lend your talents to improving humanity's lot by identifying sources for much-needed resources, protecting water supplies, providing safe building sites, locating areas for safe disposal of certain wastes, or extending knowledge of our forebears by finding where they lived and worked. We hope that this book will provide you with tools to accomplish your objectives and that you will be stimulated to continue your quest <...>
