Description
The second edition of this text not only takes into account contemporary developments in exploration geophysics, but also incorporates suggestions made by readers of the first edition. It includes chapters on radiometric surveying and geophysical borehole logging, and there are new sections on verticle seismic profiling, marine gravimeters, time domain electromagnetic methods, non-contacting resistivity measurements and ground penetrating radar. The treatment of three-dimensional seismic stratigraphy has been expanded. The authors have incorporated the application of the surveying methods into the relevant chapters on techniques rather than dealing with applications in a separate chapter. The references and suggestions for further reading have been brought up to date, and each main chapter concludes with a set of problems.

Description
On the first edition: Reading this book has given me considerable pleasure. I have enjoyed its style and presentation of methodology and theory, although naturally the latter is short in an introductory text. I also enjoy the way the subject of geophysical exploration is organised, clarifying both general principles and special aspects and methods. I recommend this text to teachers and also to students for their self study. (Journal of Geophysics) This is a well balanced, clearly illustrated, modern introduction to geophysical exploration methods, which will provide students of all ages with a sound understanding of the principal techniques and the wide range of their applications in resource exploration and engineering geology.
