Application of Geophysical Exploration for Environmental Earth Sciences and Engineering
Abstract
The role of geophysics in Environmental Earth Sciences and Engineering is considered. In the developing era since 60's in Japan, geophysics has mainly contributed to investigation of new constructions such as tunnels, dams and high-rise buildings. In the coming sustainable era, geophysics must be used for maintaining the safe and easy human life. Application examples of geophysics to investigations for disaster prevention, maintenance of existing constructions and soil and groundwater pollutions are presented to demonstrate their role in Environmental Geo-engineering. Future subjects in this field for geophysics and geophysicists are also discussed.
