Handbook of Agricultural Geophysics

This collection of 30 articles provides an overview of agricultural geophyics as well as material on measurements and methods, global positioning systems and geographic information systems, and ground-penetrating radar case histories. The articles, which emphasize applications but include appropriate levels of theory, cover the theories behind soil electrical conductivity, resistivity methods, electromagnetic induction methods. Geophysical methods with potentially significant future uses, integration of agriculture with positioning systems, and 19 cases studies on resisitivity, electromagnetic induction and ground-penetrating radar. This includes a concise glossary and index and works as a classroom reader as well as a professional and student reference Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
