Emphasizing practical agricultural applications, this book provides a concise overview of current and potential near-surface geophysical techniques. Accessible even to those without a strong geophysics background, the book begins with an introduction and summary of past applications. It describes the three near-surface geophysical methods most commonly employed, namely resistivity, electromagnetic induction, and ground-penetrating radar. Case histories comprise roughly half the book and demonstrate geophysical techniques for precision farming, site infrastructure assessment, hydrologic monitoring, and environmental investigations. > \nPrecision farming, site infrastructure assessment, hydrologic monitoring, and environmental investigations \u2014 these are just a few current and potential uses of near-surface geophysical methods in agriculture. Responding to the growing demand for this technology, the Handbook of Agricultural Geophysics supplies a clear, concise overview of near-s""
