    Introduction to
    Geophysical techniques
    The science of geophysics applies the
    principles of physics to the study of the
    Earth. Geophysical investigations of the
    interior of the Earth involve taking
    measurements at or near the Earths surface
    that are influenced by the internal
    distribution of physical properties. Analysis
    of these measurements can reveal how the
    physical properties of the Earths interior
    vary vertically and laterally.
    An alternative method of investigating
    subsurface geology is, of course, by drilling
    boreholes, but these are expensive and
    provide information only at discrete
    locations.
    Geophysical surveying, although sometimes
    prone to major ambiguities or uncertainties
    of interpretation, provides a relatively rapid
    and cost-effective means of deriving a really
    distributed information on subsurface
    geology.
    The importance of geophysical
    exploration as a means of deriving
    subsurface geological information is so
    great that the basic principles and scope
    of the methods and their main fields of
    application should be appreciated by any
    practicing Earth scientist.
    The natural field methods utilize the
    gravitational, magnetic, electrical and
    electromagnetic fields of the Earth, searching
    for local perturbations in these naturally
    occurring fields, or in the most important
    single group of geophysical surveying
    methods, the generation of seismic waves
    whose propagation velocities and
    transmission paths through the subsurface
    are mapped to provide information on the
    distribution of geological boundaries at
    depth.
    Several geophysical surveying methods can
    be used at sea, on land or in the air.
