High resolution geophysics provides optimal results on inland waterways

摘要

Detailed modelling of the shallow subsurface is often a must for engineering and environmental studies. High-resolution geophysics combined with shallow boreholes can provide a cost effective solution for these investigations. In many cases a significant step forward can be achieved simply by extending the ID information provided by the boreholes into 2D, or still better, into 3D using geophysical techniques. Obviously this is a critical step at locations where the subsurface shows high variability in vertical and/or horizontal directions.
