"Gravity surveys have a huge range of applications, indicating density variations
in the subsurface and identifying man-made structures, local changes of rock type
or even deep-seated structures at the crust/mantle boundary. This important one-stop
book combines an introductory manual of practical procedures with a full explanation
of analysis techniques, enabling students, geophysicists, geologists and engineers
to understand the methodology, applications and limitations of a gravity survey. Filled
with examples from a wide variety of acquisition problems, the book instructs students
in avoiding common mistakes and misconceptions. It explores the increasing near-surface
geophysical applications being opened up by improvements in instrumentation and provides
more advance-level material as a useful introduction to potential theory. This is
a key text for graduate students of geophysics and for professionals using gravity
surveys, from civil engineers and archaeologists to oil and mineral prospectors and
geophysicists seeking to learn more about the Earth's deep interior"-- ; "Gravity
