Active Geophysical Monitoring 3rd Edition

Active Geophysical Monitoring, 3rd Edition delivers a clear, authoritative guide to modern time‑lapse and active methods for imaging and tracking subsurface change. Whether you manage contaminated sites, monitor groundwater, evaluate slope stability, or design engineered systems, this edition brings practical science to real-world decision making.

This updated volume explains core techniques—electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), ground‑penetrating radar (GPR), seismic time‑lapse and interferometry, electromagnetic (EM) surveys, induced polarization (IP), and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS)—with an emphasis on repeatable surveys, noise reduction, and quantitative interpretation. Step‑by‑step chapters walk you through survey design, data acquisition, processing workflows, and uncertainty analysis so you can translate geophysical signals into actionable subsurface models.

Rich with contemporary case studies from hydrogeology, environmental remediation, CO2 sequestration monitoring, permafrost and infrastructure assessment, the book demonstrates how active geophysical monitoring supports regulatory compliance, risk reduction, and long‑term site stewardship. Practical guidance on instrumentation selection, network deployment, and integrated multidisciplinary approaches helps practitioners and researchers tailor methods to specific geological settings.

Engineered for professionals and advanced students, this 3rd Edition balances theory with hands‑on application, making it an essential reference for geophysicists, environmental engineers, hydrogeologists, and field technicians seeking reliable monitoring strategies. If you need dependable techniques to observe subsurface dynamics, reduce uncertainty, and improve intervention timing, this book equips you with the tools and insights to succeed.
