Types of Geophysical Survey
There are many methods and types of instrumentation used in geophysical surveys. Technologies used for geophysical surveys include:
- Seismic methods, such as reflection seismology, seismic refraction, and seismic tomography.
- Seismoelectrical method
- Geodesy and gravity techniques, including gravimetry and gravity gradiometry.
- Magnetic techniques, including aeromagnetic surveys and magnetometers.
- Electrical techniques, including electrical resistivity tomography, induced polarization and spontaneous potential.
- Electromagnetic methods, such as magnetotellurics, ground penetrating radar and transient/time-domain electromagnetics.
- Borehole geophysics, also called well logging.
- Remote sensing techniques, including hyperspectral.

“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
“He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.”
—Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Johnson (Reginald Gardner)
“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)
