Archaeological Investigations

Archaeogeophysics is a significant branch of research that applies geophysical methods to the study of archaeological sites. Having emerged in the latter half of the 1940s, geophysical surveying has become a widely used practice in the investigation of archaeological sites today. Through the use of various geophysical techniques—such as magnetometry, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), electrical resistivity tomography, seismic tomography (Vp-Vs), spontaneous potential, and induced polarization tomography—archaeological sites can be examined in an integrated manner. This allows for a detailed visualization of the archaeological context, facilitating a comprehensive interpretation of the settlement.

Geoscience Investigations

With increasing urbanization and industrialization, the identification and characterization of geological and geotechnical issues are becoming ever more critical. Determining factors such as soil properties, faulting, groundwater conditions, landslides, and karstic voids is essential to the success of engineering projects. Furthermore, since the vast majority of structures and infrastructure are built upon Holocene and Quaternary deposits, assessing the geological and geotechnical characteristics of the subsurface—within the framework of microzonation—is vital for identifying potential challenges in urban areas.

Engineering Investigations

Route-related investigations encompass a comprehensive process, ranging from the initial design phase—prior to the construction of engineering structures such as railways, highways, metro lines, and tramways—to periodic inspections conducted after construction. Geophysical methods play a vital role in such engineering endeavours. Today, the integrated application and joint interpretation of geological, geophysical, and geotechnical studies are essential prerequisites before the construction of these types of engineering structures.
