Abstract
TO the Imperial Geophysical Experimental Survey, 1927–29, was entrusted the task of testing, under conditions and on problems available in Australia, the applicability of the principal methods—gravitational, magnetic, seismic, and electrical—which recent developments in apparatus for local geophysical investigations have placed at the disposal of the economic geologist. As explained by the Director in his introduction to this Report, special stress was placed on the electrical methods, in view of the paucity of reliable information regarding these methods which was available at the time when the Survey was initiated.
