APPLIED GEOPHYSICS MANUAL

TRATADO DE GEOFISICA APLICADA

THIS BOOK REVIEWS THE DIFFERENT GEOPHYSICAL METHODS USED IN THE INVESTIGATION OF SOIL AND GROUNDWATER. GRAVIMETRIC METHODS ARE COVERED, WITH THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS, AND ANALYSIS OF MEASUREMENT DEVICES, A METHODOLOGY OF OBSERVATIONS IN-SITU AND IN PRACTICAL EXAMPLE. THE MAGNETIC METHODS, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENTS USED (MAGNETIC BALANCE, TORSION MAGNETOMETER) AND THE AEROMAGNETIC METHOD. SEISMIC METHODS, WITH THE CONCEPTS OF SEISMOLOGY AND ELASTIC WAVES; THE PRINCIPAL SEISMIC METHODS ARE THOSE OF REFRACTION AND REFLECTION, WHICH ARE STUDIED IN DETAIL. AMONGST THE INSTRUMENTS USED ARE THE GEOPHONE, AMPLIFIERS, RECORDING CELLS, MULTIPLE RECORDINGS, MAGNETIC RECORDING, DIGITAL OR NUMERICAL RECORDING AND THE "VIBROSEIS" METHOD. ELECTRICAL METHODS ARE ALSO COVERED, THE MOST USED BEING THAT OF SPONTANEOUS POLARIZATION, THE POTENTIAL, RESISTIVITY AND VERTICAL ELECTRICAL PROBING. RADIOMETRIC METHODS (GEIGER-MULLER COUNTERS, SCINTILLATION METER OR FLICKER METER, BERYLOMETERS). CHEMICAL METHODS (SPECTROPHOTOMETERY WITH ATOMIC ABSORPTION, OPTICAL SPECTROGRAPHY, GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY). THE METHOD OF ELECTRICAL VERIFICATION IS ALSO PRESENTED.
