This practical volume applies geophysical techniques to hazardous waste site investigations, highway bridge foundations, and water quality.

Seven peer-reviewed papers in a section on Surface Geophysics and Borehole Geophysics discuss:

• in situ soil testing

• measurement of engineering properties in rocks and sediments

• earthquake/seismic sensitivity of soils

• water quality monitoring

• and site characterization for hazardous waste studies.

For hydrologists, hydrogeologists, civil engineers, and soil test engineers working in site characterization, construction foundation, or water supply areas.
