Table of ContentsReviews'Binley and Slater are two of the best electrical geophysicists in the world, and together have written a comprehensive, accessible textbook for anyone interested in electrical methods. By including a history of the methods, open-source software, and sections on theory, instrumentation, forward and inverse modelling, and applications, they've produced a 'one-stop shop' for all things electrical. This book starts with a primer on the most fundamental mathematics and builds up from there to topics outlining the state of the science, including helpful figures and sidebar information along the way. I strongly recommend this book to any student or practitioner interested in learning more about how to apply electrical geophysical techniques to shallow-Earth problems, and look forward to sharing it with my research students.' Kamini Singha, Colorado School of Mines 'This is without doubt the most comprehensive and thorough treatment of electrical geophysics anywhere in the literature. It is a brilliantly written book, covering theory and practice, with numerous real-world examples of the use of resistivity and induced polarization. It will certainly be first on my recommended reading list for students, researchers and practitioners working in the field of geoelectrics and near-surface geophysics.' Jonathan Chambers, British Geological Survey 'Andrew Binley and Lee Slater, two experienced scientists in the field of near-surface geophysics, have compiled a modern textbook that describes the development and the state of the art of resistivity and IP technology. The book provides deep insight into the theoretical fundamentals, and presents the breadth of application of these geophysical methods. Considering the wealth of information and the clearly arranged presentation, the textbook will be useful both for academic education and as a reference work for researchers and practitioners. This book will certainly inspire further research work and practical application of resistivity and IP methods.'

Andreas Weller, Technische Universität Clausthal Author InformationAndrew Binley is Professor of Hydrogeophysics at Lancaster University. His research focuses on the use of near-surface electrical geophysics for hydrogeological characterization. He is the developer of widely used geoelectrical modelling computer codes. In 2012 he was awarded the Frank Frischknecht Leadership Award for his long-term contributions to the field of near-surface geophysics, and in particular hydrogeophysics. This award is jointly presented by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) and the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS). He was elected Fellow of the American Geophysical Union in 2013 for pioneering work on uncertainty modelling and hydrogeophysics. Lee Slater is a Distinguished Professor and the Henry Rutgers Professor of Geophysics at Rutgers University, New Jersey. His research focuses on near-surface geophysics and he has performed extensive laboratory and field studies with resistivity and induced polarization. In 2013 he was awarded the Harold B. Mooney Award for long-term contributions in education and professional outreach in near-surface geophysics by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) and the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS). He was elected Fellow of the American Geophysical Union in 2013 for visionary experimentation in near-surface geophysics. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
