Most-cited papers in Near Surface Geophysics

Surface‐wave inversion using a direct search algorithm and its application to ambient vibration measurements

Marc Wathelet, Denis Jongmans, Matthias Ohrnberger · 1 Aug 2004

ABSTRACT Passive recordings of seismic noise are increasingly used in earthquake engineering to measure in situ the shear‐wave velocity profile at a given site. Ambient vibrations, which are assumed to be mainly composed of surface waves, can be used to determine the Rayleigh‐wave dispersion curve, with the advantage of not requiring artificial sources. Due to…

Surface‐wave method for near‐surface characterization: a tutorial

Laura Valentina Socco, Claudio Strobbia · 1 Aug 2004

ABSTRACT Surface‐wave methods (SWMs) are very powerful tools for the near‐surface characterization of sites. They can be used to determine the shear‐wave velocity and the damping ratio overcoming, in some cases, the limitations of other shallow seismic techniques. The different steps of SWM have to be optimized, taking into consideration the conditions imposed by the…

An overview of the spectral induced polarization method for near‐surface applications

Andreas Kemna, Andrew Binley, Giorgio Cassiani et al. · 29 Nov 2012

ABSTRACT Over the last 15 years significant advancements in induced polarization (IP) research have taken place, particularly with respect to spectral IP (SIP), concerning the understanding of the mechanisms of the IP phenomenon, the conduction of accurate and broadband laboratory measurements, the modelling and inversion of IP data for imaging purposes and the increasing application…

A review of helicopter‐borne electromagnetic methods for groundwater exploration

B. Siemon, Anders Vest Christiansen, Esben Auken · 1 Jul 2009

ABSTRACT For about three decades, airborne electromagnetic (AEM) systems have been used for groundwater exploration purposes. Airborne systems are appropriate for large‐scale and efficient groundwater surveying. Due to the dependency of the electrical conductivity on both the clay content of the host material and the mineralization of the water, electromagnetic systems are suitable for providing…

Multiple‐gradient array measurements for multichannel 2D resistivity imaging

Torleif Dahlin, Bing Zhou · 1 Sep 2005

ABSTRACT Two‐dimensional resistivity imaging using multiple gradient, Wenner and dipole‐dipole electrode arrays was carried out at two field sites in Sweden and one in Nicaragua, with the objective of confirming the practical applicability of results obtained with numerical modelling. The results support earlier numerical modelling studies that concluded that the gradient array, using multiple current…

Near Surface Geophysics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Near Surface Geophysics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Near Surface Geophysics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Near Surface Geophysics use?
Near Surface Geophysics uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Near Surface Geophysics 12 (3): 45–58.
