This handy pocket-sized field guide provides practical information and assistance to anyone engaged in small-scale surveys on the ground. Fully revised and updated throughout, the Fourth Edition includes comprehensive updates on the use of GPR and GPS and new sections on surface wave seismics and towed array systems. This has become the standard text in this area for use in the field and the experience of the two authors will ensure the book retains its place as one of the most popular handbooks in applied geophysics. Fully revised and updated to incorporate new developments in the field;Focus on quality control of the acquisition of data and basic field interpretation;User-friendly, accessible writing style;Includes updates on Ground Penetrating Radar and the use of GPS;New section on surface wave methods.Additional material available on the companion website at www.wiley.com/go/milsom/geophysics4e

The latest edition of the leading text on field methods in geophysics In the thoroughly revised Fifth Edition of Field Geophysics, a team of experienced geophysicists provides a modern and up-to-date treatment of both theory and practice. The handy field guide maintains the highly accessible style of the previous editions while offering restructured chapters that benefit from new content and graphics. The new editions now includes essential geology theory that assists field geophysicists in recognizing how local geological conditions might influence the design or success of a survey. Field Geophysics provides readers with a new chapter on borehole seismic geophysics, a common industrial survey method, as well as a new chapter on advanced geophysical methods. Throughout, the book focuses on methods that are becoming more relevant at the expense of traditional techniques. Readers will also find: A comprehensive introduction to geophysics, definitions, geological concepts, site craft, and geophysical dataMagnetic methods in geophysics, including magnetic properties, the earth’s magnetic field, and magnetic instrumentsGravity methods in geophysics, including gravity meters, reductions, and surveysPractical exploration of seismic reflection, seismic refraction, and seismic surface wave methodsPerfect for undergraduate and graduate students studying geophysics and its associated field methods, Field Geophysics will also earn a place in the libraries of professional geologists, geotechnical engineers, utility asset managers, and health and safety managers.
