A handbook of geophysical techniques for geomorphic and environmental research / Robert Gilbert, compiler ; with contributions by Martin Douma, Larry Dyke, Robert Gilbert, Ron L. Good James A. Hunter,...: M183-2/3731E-PDF

"This volume is designed to provide geomorphologists and others conducting research on earth-surface processes and landforms with an introduction to selected geophysical techniques which can provide useful information for these studies. This is based on the premise that some earth scientists may not have received formal training in geophysics and so may not be familiar with the techniques and instrumentation that may be available to address the questions of their research. For this reason, the presentations here focus on first principles, and provide illustrations and examples from geomorphic study of the surface and subsurface of land and water that may be very useful in assessing geomorphic processes, landforms, and environmental and paleoenvironmental change. Information is provided on how to conduct surveys using the techniques described, and how to interpret the results, including, in both cases the pitfalls to avoid. Each technique is relatively easy to learn and inexpensive to apply; in most cases, each is suited to small field parties operating with limited logistical support. …"--Introduction, page 1.
