Introduction to Applied Geophysics covers the fundamental principles and common methods of exploration geophysics, preparing students for field study of the shallow subsurface.

Offering a chapter on each of the most common methods of exploration, the text explains in detail how each method is performed and discusses that method’s geologic, engineering, and environmental applications. In addition to ample examples, illustrations, and applications throughout, each chapter concludes with a problem set. The text is also accompanied by the Field Geophysics Software Suite, an innovative CD-ROM that allows students to experiment with refraction and reflection seismology, gravity, magnetics, electrical resistivity, and ground-penetrating radar methods of exploration.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

FYI: the first printing of the book came with a CD-ROM. The Mac software on that disk will not work with current machines; you can update those copies to ones that should work using the updaters at . The second printing corrects some typos but comes with a DVD (stated as such on the cover) with the current version of the software.

About the Author

H. Robert Burger is Achilles Professor of Geology at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. His research focuses on the evolution of ancient mountain belts in southwestern Montana, applying geophysics to further elucidate the structural evolution of the Connecticut Valley in Massachusetts, and applies Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to mitigate natural hazards.

Anne F. Sheehan is Professor of Geological Sciences and Fellow of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Her research focuses on the study of the crust and upper mantle of the Earth and its relation to tectonic deformation. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in geological sciences and geophysics, and has served as Director of the University of Colorado Geophysics Ph.D. program.

Craig H. Jones is Professor of Geological Sciences and Fellow of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado at Boulder. His research has focused on understanding the tectonics of continental areas, especially the western U. S., and on obtaining geophysical observations of those features. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in geology and geophysics and has developed and maintained geophysical software for more than 15 years.

Good Descriptive Text

March 10, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This textbook is a good resource to supplement an introductory geophysics course. It is sometimes a bit difficult to follow, but it is overall excellently formatted. There are a few formula errors in the book, so be aware of some equations seeming a bit off from what was described. I have noticed that some versions of the book come with an error sheet to help point out mistakes. I would recommend this text to any student taking an introductory geophysics course, or just needing an overview of the subject matter.

The software cd is a little funky and the programs don't work exactly as they should.... but overall the book and the cd it came with helped me pass my geophysics class.

Not a great book. Lots of typos

December 7, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Not a great book. Lots of typos, for example: 7+5=8 on a diagram (???) amongst other typos in equations. The software that comes with it is really buggy. They also do not include many example problems and all the diagrams are in black and white. I think color would really improve their readability.

Don't take a class that uses this textbook.

Not good. Does not provide good derivations. It's as if the authors have never heard of formatting. Seems to be little more than a collection of the author's field notes with some...Read more

Good luck if you are taking a class requiring it

The program that comes with this textbook makes me want to commit atrocious crimes. Good luck if you are taking a class requiring it!
