Geophysical Techniques - For Sensing Buried Wastes and Waste Migration

The six geophysical techniques described in the publication include metal detection, magnetometry, ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetics, resistivity, and seismic refraction. Their applications for sensing the presence of subsurface waster and waste migration are detailed. Descriptions of the six geophysical techniques are presented to provide a broad understanding of their application. Technical language is avoided as much as possible so that those with a limited technical background can acquire a general understanding of current techniques sufficient to define project requirements, select professional support, and monitor and direct field programs.
