Forensic Geosciences and Geophysics: Overview

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Geophysical Methods Applied to Forensic Investigations

Abstract

In this chapter, the theoretical foundation of the geophysical methods applied in the field of Forensic Geosciences will be treated. After an introduction about state of the art, the Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR), Gravimetry, Magnetometry, Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR), Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), Self-Potential (SP), and seismic sonic an ultrasonic methods will be considered. Using practical examples, some important theoretical aspect of these methods will be explained as simply as possible.
