The percentage composition of the subject matter of this revised edition is approximately the same as that for the first, but the number of chapters has increased significantly. This necessitated the publication of a companion volume. In addition to dealing with various geophysical exploration methods, it adds and emphasizes the use of radiometric methods to explore for hard minerals found in sediments on and beneath the ocean floor.

My first experience in applying borehole geophysics to the environmental field was in 1960 at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL); however, I started working with geophysical logs in 1953. In Idaho we were able to map a complex aquifer system and the distribution of plumes of waste from injection wells and ponds. One of the earliest applications of neutron moisture logs to locate waste migrating above the water table and of gamma-spectral logs to identify migrating radioisotopes was at the INEL. While at the INEL I was involved in the recovery operations and investigations at the SL-1 reactor.

Full-3D seismic waveform inversion (F3DWI) refers to inversions that seek to minimize the discrepancies between the observed and synthetic seismic waveforms, wiggle for wiggle, by solving the three-dimensional acoustic or (visco) elastic wave equations. Its development is important both for the theoretical foundations of modern quantitative seismology and for the practical applications of seismological methods in exploring the Earth’s interior.

The history of the practice of earthquake geology extends more than a century into the past, but it is still only a fledgling field as a modern discipline. In fact, most of what we know has been learned only in the past quarter century. And so it is not surprising that this textbook is the first attempt to survey systematically the purposes, methods, and scientific principles of the geological investigation of earthquakes. Our impetus for writing this book was, in part, the frustration we felt in teaching, year after year, earthquake geology classes without the benefit of a textbook.

Electrical Resistivity (ER) is a non-destructive geophysical method for geotechnical and geoenvironmental investigation. This technique is promising in producing soil moisture map and obtaining subsoil profile information. Additionally, the saturated and unsaturated soil parameters can be evaluated through the electrical resistivity method. The saturated and unsaturated soil properties are critical parameters for earthen infrastructure design, especially the landfill bottom liners and top covers, whereas the soil hydraulic properties play a significant role in the overall performance.

This book presents different aspects of earthquake research. In includes syntheses of recent works combined with new results and interpretations, applicable to diverse branches of earthquake seismology and geology. 
The destructive potential of earthquakes depends on their magnitude and the placement of the hypocenter. Worldwide efforts, such as the Global Seismographic Network of seismological and geophysical sensors and data centers, provides information that is essential to identify earthquake locations, understand the physics of the earthquakes and faulting mechanisms, as well as studies on paleoseismicity and earthquakes in the human history.

Electromagnetic Methods in Applied Geophysics, Volume I, Theory presented the mathematical and physical foundations common to all EM methods. The purpose of Volume I was to help facilitate the understanding of the theory involved and to provide a limited amount of interpretational aids. Volume H, Applications is devoted to a method-by-method treatment of the principal EM techniques in common use.

In Australia, the period from 1920 to the present is split by World War II into two sharply contrasting periods with respect to advances in knowledge of the geology of the continent. Between the two world wars geological work was almost entirely restricted to the Geological Surveys and universities of the six states. The official Geological Surveys were more and more confined to routine and ad hoc tasks, such as examination of mines and prospects, siting water bores, and giving assistance to prospectors and the mining industry generally.

Монография посвящена некоторым вопросам математического моделирования объемной активности радона как предвестника сильных землетрясений Камчатки. Радон — инертный радиоактивный газ, непрерывно регистрируемый газоразрядными счётчиками, устанавливаемыми в специальных накопительных камерах. В рамках теории эманационного метода мониторинг изменения концентрации газа радона в подпочвенном, атмосферном воздухе и в воде является одним из методов изучения процессов, происходящих в земной коре при подготовке очага землетрясения.
