fully updated to reflect the important developments in geophysical
methods since the production of the previous edition. The broad
scope of previous editions is maintained, with even greater clarity
of explanations from the revised text and extensively revised
figures. Each of the major geophysical methods is treated
systematically developing the theory behind the method and
detailing the instrumentation, field data acquisition techniques,
data processing and interpretation methods. The practical
application of each method to such diverse exploration applications
as petroleum, groundwater, engineering, environmental and forensic
is shown by case histories.
The mathematics required in order to understand the text is
purposely kept to a minimum, so the book is suitable for courses
taken in geophysics by all undergraduate students. It will also be
of use to postgraduate students who might wish to include
geophysics in their studies and to all professional geologists who
wish to discover the breadth of the subject in connection with
their own work.
Philip Kearey gained a B.Sc. in Geology and a Ph.D. in Geophysics at the University of Durham. After two years working for the Canadian government he took up a post as Lecturer in Applied Geophysics at the University of Bristol in 1976. He was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 1995. He was elected as Chartered Geologist of the Geological Society in 1991. Mike Brooks was a Professor of Geology and Head of the Department of Geology at Cardiff University from 1978 to 1993 and is now a Professor Emeritus of the University. From 1993 to 2001 he was the Education and Training Officer of the Geological Society of London. Ian Hill is Senior Lecturer in Geophysics at the University of Leicester where he teaches Geophysics and Plate Tectonics. He was the first chairman of the Environmental and Industrial Geophysics Group (EIGG) of the Geological Society of London. He is a Chartered Geologist.

Index
"The book is popular with geophysics students, a result of its
clear and concise style, the presentation of information a the
level required for the earlier years of an undergraduate degree,
and figures which are also clear and concise." Geophysical
Journal International on the second edition
"No doubt that this volume will once again prove to be a classic
textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in geology,
geophysics, and for anyone interested in Earth Science." The
