Abstract
Gravity surveying is an attractive technique for geophysical exploration<br>in urban areas because of its immunity to electromagnetic and seismic<br>interference. This paper reports an exploratory gravity profile which<br>has been conducted in the southern Windhoek municipal area to introduce some<br>undergraduate physics students to practical geophysics, and to evaluate the usefulness of<br>the gravity method for detecting targets locally relevant to engineering geology and<br>hydrogeology.
