Articles

Sometimes our clients ask for supplementary or general information about the geophysical methods that we and other geophysicists use. As there are many text books and other reference materials available, we thought that we would pick out a selection that will provide an introduction to both geophysics and geology. This list is not meant to be exhaustive and other suitable recommendations are welcomed. (Send us a review.)

We have arranged an association with Amazon.com to allow you to obtain the books over the internet if you wish. Simply click on the title and follow the instructions.

Alternatively, if you wish to search for another title on Amazon.com's site, please use the Search Box on the right.
