Application of Geophysical Methods in Environmental and Municipal Engineering: Theoretical Study

摘要

The report includes the fundamental theoretical aspects of geophysics applied in environmental surveys. The main emphasis is put on analyzing of electrical, electromagnetic, and soil temperature measurements. Petrophysical basis necessary for quantitative interpretation and modeling is covered. Some theoretical formulas and laboratory measurements of water samples indicate that the salinity (TDS) can be interpreted from surface measurements and that TDS is a relatively reliable indicator of groundwater contamination.
