Applications in environment
The geophysical methods most used in this field would be electrical and geo-radar GPR.
The main applications are:
-
Geological knowledge: Contacts between different materials, layer depth, faults and fractures locations, definition of dips and alteration areas.
-
Characterization of mining landfills and mining pools.
-
Definition of pollution plumes.
-
Detection of potential points of filtering pollutants (faults, breaks...).
