An Applied Introduction to Earth Science Principles and Geophysical Techniques for Investigating Environmental Problems explores how core Earth science concepts—such as geology, hydrology, atmospheric processes, and soil science—are combined with modern geophysical methods to understand and address environmental challenges. It focuses on practical applications of techniques like seismic surveys, electrical resistivity, ground-penetrating radar, and remote sensing to detect subsurface conditions, monitor pollution, assess groundwater resources, and manage natural hazards. By integrating scientific theory with field-based investigation and data analysis, this approach equips students and professionals with the tools needed to diagnose environmental issues, support sustainable decision-making, and develop effective solutions for protecting and managing the Earth’s systems.
