In this review we discuss selected publications during the last quadrennium (1991-1994) that involved the use or development of geophysical methods for environmental applications. The topic of environmental geophysics did not appear in the previous IUGG quadrennial report [ Shea, 1991]. The principal annual conference proceedings volume related to environmental geophysics since 1988 (the Proceedings of the Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems) increased in size from just under four hundred pages in 1991 [ Anonymous, 1991] to over one thousand pages in 1994 [ Bell and Lepper, 1994]. These facts attest to the rapid growth of this new field.
