Griffiths D.H., King R.F. Applied Geophysics for Geologists and Engineers. The Elements of Geophysical Prospecting

2nd Ed. — Pergamon Press, 1988. — 236 p. — ISBN: 0-08-022071-1.This book is written primarily with the needs of civil engineers in mind, but it is our experience that geologists, mining engineers and petroleum engineers also need to understand geophysical techniques even though they may never specialize as geophysicists. The scope of the book has therefore been broadened to include some discussion of geophysical methods used in prospecting for oil and other minerals, even though these methods will be of little or no interest to the civil engineer. However, it has no pretensions to completeness, even as an introduction to geophysics, and must be regarded rather as a handbook for the student whose main interests lie elsewhere, but who realizes that geophysical methods can provide important information on the basis of which he is likely to have to make decisions.
