"This book includes complete background on Geophysical Methods of Exploration, Practices, and Case Histories for better understanding of the subject of geophysics and its applicability in diverse fields of exploration. It details both conventional and advanced geophysical techniques with description of physics involved into different methodologies. Divided into sixteen chapters, detailed discussions of the theory of individual methods, the operation of specific instruments, the presentation of results and their interpretation are also included. The book discusses Potential Geophysical Methods and Applications in Mineral Exploration and reviews Natural Hazard Risk mitigation using Geophysical methods. It covers surface, air, marine and well-logging geophysical applications in natural resource exploration and includes electrical, electromagnetic, Seismic and Radioactive Geophysical methods supported by successful case histories. It strengthens mathematical and problem-solving skills covering all the geophysical aspects. This book is aimed at graduate students in geophysics, exploration, and environmental geophysics"--
