Geoid And Its Geophysical Interpretations

Testing techniques were designed to characterize spatial variability in geotechnical engineering physical parameters of rock formations. Standard methods using seismic waves, which are routinely used for shallow subsurface investigation, have limitations in characterizing challenging profiles at depth that include low-velocity layers and embedded cavities. This research focuses on overcoming these limitations by developing two new methods using both sensitive data and a global inversion scheme.

Climates, Landscapes, and Civilizations brings together a collection of studies on the history of complex interrelationships between humans and their environment by integrating Earth science with archeology and anthropology.

The articles in this volume were selected from a series of reports delivered in the So­ viet Union at Yaroslavl during the International Seminar "Super-deep drilling and deep geophysical research", which was organized and held in August 1988 by the Ministry of Geology of the USSR, jointly with the Inter-Union Commission on the Lithosphere. One of the most important problems of modem geology, is the state and prospects of further development of deep continental structure investigations, was discussed at the seminar with the participation of 245 scientists and specialists from 19 countries.
