The growing popularity of the two approaches among geophysicists, engineers, and hydrologists and the degree to which they overlap make a volume encompassing both a good idea. Scientists from around the world present 29 reviews, papers on methodology and integrative approaches, and case studies. Among the topics are estimating near-surface shear-wave velocity and quality factor by inverting high-frequency Rayleigh waves, analyzing the velocity dispersion and attenuation behavior of multi-frequency sonic logs, determining electric permittivity and conductivity directly from surface-reflection data from air-launched ground penetrating radar, high-resolution seismic imaging of near-surface fault structures within the Upper Rhine Graben in Germany, and detecting perched water bodies using surface-seismic time-lapse travel-time tomography.
