Types of Geophysical Survey

There are many methods and types of instrumentation used in geophysical surveys. Technologies used for geophysical surveys include:

  1. Seismic methods, such as reflection seismology, seismic refraction, and seismic tomography.
  2. Seismoelectrical method
  3. Geodesy and gravity techniques, including gravimetry and gravity gradiometry.
  4. Magnetic techniques, including aeromagnetic surveys and magnetometers.
  5. Electrical techniques, including electrical resistivity tomography, induced polarization and spontaneous potential.
  6. Electromagnetic methods, such as magnetotellurics, ground penetrating radar and transient/time-domain electromagnetics.
  7. Borehole geophysics, also called well logging.
  8. Remote sensing techniques, including hyperspectral.

Famous quotes containing the words types of, types and/or survey:

    Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.
    Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    The American man is a very simple and cheap mechanism. The American woman I find a complicated and expensive one. Contrasts of feminine types are possible. I am not absolutely sure that there is more than one American man.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    When I survey the wondrous cross
    On which the Prince of Glory died,
    My richest gain I count but loss,
    And pour contempt on all my pride.
    Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
