Review: Agricultural geophysics is the subdiscipline of geophysics that focuses solely on agricultural applications. This book takes an overview of the geophysical methods that can be used in agriculture, giving detailed descriptions of situations where the techniques have been used. It has been written specifically for those working in agriculture who need to use geographical tools for gathering relevant information to solve problems. The book is divided into five sections: an overview of agricultural geophysics; agricultural geophysics measurements and methods; GPS and GIS; resistivity and electromagnetic induction case histories; ground-penetrating radar case histories.
