The Purpose of the Near-Surface Geophysics Focus Group

NS was created to provide a home for those people who describe themselves as near-surface geophysicists: studying and advancing the use of geophysics for near-surface applications. The formation of NS thus addresses two needs: 1) fosters communication within the NS geophysics community, the primary goal being to advance the science of NS geophysics as an end it itself; 2) promotes the awareness of NS in other fields and advances the use of NS where the primary science goals/questions are in other areas of science. Near-surface applications addressed by NS researchers include, but are not limited to, studies in archaeology, biogeochemistry, coastal processes and climate change, ecology, hydrology, tectonics, volcanology. A full description of the focus group is given in the following article in EOS: Slater, L., Knight, R., Singha, K., Binley, A., and Atekwana, E., Near-Surface Geophysics: A New Focus Group, Eos Trans. AGU, 87(25), 249, 2006.
