Groundwater studies
Locates/detects presence of subsurface structures or bodies and determine their size, shape, depth, and physical properties; Features or bodies related to mineral deposits, energy, or groundwater resources
Exploration geophysics
Includes detection and flow direction
Contaminant studies
Involves mechanical properties and depth
Site investigations
Geophysical method which measures magnetic susceptibility; includes powerlines
Magnetic method
Geophysical method involving positive/negative gravity anomalies
Gravity method
Geophysical method which simulates artificial vibrations; includes bulk modulus, density
Seismic method
Mass per unit volume
Density
Degree to which substance may be magnetized
Magnetic susceptibility
Amount of deformation of a material upon removal of the stresses; elastic moduli (Young’s modulus, bulk modulus, shear modulus/ modulus of rigidity, etc.)
Elasticity
Ability of a material to conduct electrical current
Conductivity
Ability of a material to transmit radar energy to path
Relative dielectric permittivity
