A soil sample recovered from a test boring using a split spoon sampler. Borings come in two main varieties: large diameter and small diameter. Large-diameter borings are rarely used because of safety concerns and expense but are sometimes used to allow a geologist or an engineer to visually and manually examine the soil and rock stratigraphy in-situ.
Geophysical survey is the systematic collection of geophysical data for spatial studies. Detection and analysis of the geophysical signals forms the core of Geophysical signal processing. The magnetic and gravitational fields emanating from the Earth's interior hold essential information concerning seismic activities and the internal structure.
Data filtering enables the extraction of bare-Earth's surface by removing unnecessary data or data noise. [26] For rock orientation studies, outcrop mapping and topographical studies, they only acquire information about the rock slope bodies. Thus, data filtering is implemented to separate the point clouds as ground and non-ground features.
Seismic data acquisition is the first of the three distinct stages of seismic exploration, the other two being seismic data processing and seismic interpretation. [ 28 ] Seismic surveys are typically designed by National oil companies and International oil companies who hire service companies such as CGG , Petroleum Geo-Services and WesternGeco ...
Geologic mapping and interpretation of geomorphology are typically completed in consultation with a geologist or engineering geologist. Subsurface exploration usually involves in-situ testing (for example, the standard penetration test and cone penetration test ).

The resulting output of the processing program is used as the input for subsequent interpretation. Processing may include the use of remote reference data or local data only. Processed MT data is modelled using various techniques to create a subsurface resistivity map, with lower frequencies generally corresponding to greater depth below ground.
A case study in Burdur, Turkey presenting the use of remote sensing data and spatial analysis performed by GIS is one of the pioneer projects. [48] Remote sensing collected data for geology and lineament density while GIS derived drainage density, topography elevation, gradient, landuse and the annual rainfall data. [48]
