This is the completely revised and updated version of the popular and highly regarded textbook, Applied Geophysics. It describes the physical methods involved in exploration for hydrocarbons and minerals,which include gravity,magnetic, seismic, electrical, electromagnetic, radioactivity, and well-logging methods.All aspects of these methods are described, including basic theory, field equipment, techniques of data acquisition, data processing and interpretation,with the objective of locating commercial deposits of minerals, oil, and gas and determining their extent. In the fourteen years or so since the first edition of Applied Geophysics , many changes have taken place in this field,mainly as the result of new techniques, better instrumentation, and increased use of computers in the
