An industrial application of ground penetrating radar for coal mining horizon sensing
Jonathon C. Ralston,Andrew D. Strange +1 more
- 09 Nov 2015
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the industrial application of radar technology at a production open cut coal mine, where the use of ground penetrating radar has been extensively evaluated through a series of extensive campaigns for detecting and discriminating subsurface geological strata boundaries.

Electrical resistivity in the delineation of groundwater potential zones: a case study from Kota, Rajasthan, India
Naziya Jamal,N. P. Singh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a geophysical investigation using electrical resistivity method is carried out in the eastern part of Sangod Block, Kota District, Rajasthan, India, where a total of twenty-one vertical electrical sounding (VES) data were collected using Schlumberger sounding configuration with the aim of determining subsurface layer parameters (resistivities and thicknesses) and delineating the groundwater potential zones in the area.

M. Turhan Taner,Fulton Koehler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the fundamental principles for calculating velocity spectra displays are outlined and examples are included which demonstrate the depth and detail of geological information which may be obtained from the interpretation of such displays.

Crustal structure of the mid‐ocean ridges: 2. Computed model from gravity and seismic refraction data
TL;DR: In this paper, a model computed on the basis of continuous gravity measurements over the mid-Atlantic ridge and the seismic refraction results given in part 1 is presented to explain the seismic and gravity data obtained over the east Pacific rise but that a deeper compensation is not impossible because of the smaller gradients in the topography and Bouguer anomaly curves.

Magnetic Anomalies over Oceanic Ridges
TL;DR: Vine and Matthews as mentioned in this paper showed that the pattern of local magnetic anomalies on the flanks of a mid-oceanic ridge is strongly lineated parallel to the ridge, and that these magnetic "stripes" represent strips of material in the upper mantle the directions of permanent magnetization of which are alternately parallel and anti-parallel to the present local geomagnetic field.
