Applied Geophysics in Periglacial Environments Paperback - Softcover

"While the book has been prepared as a handbook for geomorphologists, geologists, and glaciologists requiring an introduction to geophysical techniques, it is also a precious reference for geophysicists and other geoscientists planning or conducting field surveys in mountainous and polar regions in cold climates. I also recommend it as a guide book to geophysicists who are pursuing seismic and electromagnetic surveys in mountainous and polar terrains." The Leading Edge

Christian Hauck received a Ph.D. from the Eidgen ssische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Z rich. He is now a scientist at the Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research in the University of Karlsruhe, and has 9 years of experience in conducting field work in alpine, arctic and antarctic environments using electrical, electromagnetic and seismic surveying methods. Dr Hauck's main research interests include the application of geophysical methods in mountainous and polar terrain, and new measuring and inversion methods in hydrogeophysics.

Christof Kneisel received a Ph.D. from the University of Trier in 1999. He is now a Lecturer at the Department of Physical Geography at the University of W rzburg, and has 12 years of experience in conducting field work in alpine and subarctic periglacial environments using 1-D and 2-D electrical methods and refraction seismics. Dr Kneisel's main research interests include the application of geophyical mapping and monitoring in alpine and subarctic periglacial terrain on various glacial and periglacial landforms, and the application of geoelectrical methods in soil and environmental science.
