Due to high metal prices and increased difficulties in finding shallower deposits, the
exploration for and exploitation of mineral resources is expected to move to greater depths …

Subsurface environmental, engineering, and agricultural investigations often require
characterization of hydraulic parameters. For example, groundwater flow modeling is often …

An Introduction to Mining Seismology describes comprehensively the modern methods and
techniques used to monitor and study seismicity and rockbursts in mines. Key case histories …

A tomographic inversion procedure is described and applied to a synthetic three‐
dimensional (3‐D) seismic refraction data set, demonstrating that tomography is capable of …

A complete treatment of the theory and practice of groundwater engineering, The Handbook
of Groundwater Engineering, Second Edition provides a current and detailed review of how …

Near-surface geophysics uses the investigational methods of geophysics to study the nature
of the very outermost part of the earth's crust. Man interacts with this part of the earth's crust …

Seismic surveys successfully imaged a small scale CO 2 injection (1,600 ton) conducted in a
brine aquifer of the Frio Formation near Houston, Texas. These time-lapse borehole seismic …

The borehole radar system, RAMAC, developed within the framework of the International
Stripa Project, can be used in three different measuring modes; single‐hole reflection, cross …

A method is described for the joint use of time‐lapse ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) travel
times and hydrological data to estimate field‐scale soil hydraulic parameters. We build upon …

An iterative tomographic inversion scheme is presented for determination of 2-D velocity
structure from seismic refraction first-arrival traveltimes. the method is suited to refraction …
