@agu-near-surface
The AGU Near-Surface Geophysics section focuses on the development and application of geophysical methods to study the near-surface region of the Earth and to address key questions about subsurface properties and processes. https://connect.agu.org/nsg/home
Near-surface geophysics is like getting an X-ray of the shallow Earth—without digging. By measuring subtle changes in gravity, magnetism, electrical properties, and seismic vibrations, scientists can “see” what's hidden below the surface.
