Geophysical Prospecting

Aims & Scope

Geophysical Prospecting publishes the best in primary research on the science of geophysics as it applies to the exploration, evaluation and extraction of earth resources.

Drawing heavily on contributions from researchers in the oil and mineral exploration industries, the journal has a very practical slant.

Although the journal provides a valuable forum for communication among workers in these fields, it is also ideally suited to researchers in academic geophysics.
