Applications
Geophysical methods are applied to a variety of geotechnical and environmental applications. They are most effectively
used at the initial stages of a site characterization effort to guide invasive follow-up and to provide a reconnaissance
over large areas. Geophysical methods are also used to provide very detailed data within a localized area.
