RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN GEOPHYSICAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE RAPID LOCATION OF NEAR-SURFACE ANOMALOUS GROUND CONDITIONS

Two, recently developed, geophysical techniques for the rapid location of near surface anomalous ground conditions are outlined. These are the inductive measurement of ground conductivity and fluxgate gradiometry. The applications and limitations of these techniques are illustrated by case histories of actual site investigations. (Author/TRRL)
