Introduction to Near Surface Geophysics

Near-surface geophysics focuses on how the environment (soil, water, air) and human-made activities (mining, archaeology, agricultural practices, etc.) interact just below the surface of the Earth. Near-surface geophysics applications include how surficial processes affect groundwater, how near-surface fault zones and structures affect the stability of utilities and infrastructure, and even in forensic applications. This sector is suitable for those who want to study how humans and their impact can affect natural processes. Near-surface geophysics can involve field work, both in remote or urban areas, computer modeling, and interpretation of natural processes using specific tools, such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), and has wide applications for the energy and power sectors.
