Advances in Near-surface Seismology and Ground-penetrating Radar (SEG
Geophysical Developments Series No. 15) is a collection of original
papers by renowned and respected authors from around the world. Technologies
used in the application of near-surface seismology and ground-penetrating
radar have seen significant advances in the last several years. Both
methods have benefited from new processing tools, increased computer
speeds, and an expanded variety of applications. This book, divided
into four sections ? ?Reviews,? ?Methodology,? ?Integrative Approaches,?
and ?Case Studies? ? captures the most significant cutting-edge issues
in active areas of research, unveiling truly pertinent studies that
address fundamental applied problems. This collection of manuscripts
grew from a core group of papers presented at a postconvention workshop,
?Advances in Near-surface Seismology and Ground-penetrating Radar,?
held during the 2009 SEG Annual Meeting in Houston, Texas. This is
the first cooperative publication effort between the near-surface
communities of SEG, AGU, and EEGS. It will appeal to a large and
diverse audience that includes researchers and practitioners inside
and outside the near-surface geophysics community.
