Abstract
What geophysical methods may be the most applicable to a project, and how are these individual<br>methods applied? Ten years ago, the answer was dependent on individuals and their experience. Today,<br>geophysical standard guides are available to assist individuals unfamiliar with geophysical methods and<br>provide answers to this question. This paper identifies current ASTM Standard Guides and Standard<br>Test Methods associated with surface and borehole geophysical methods. The paper discusses available<br>standards, the rationale for developing the standards and ASTM committee makeup. Finally, the<br>Standard Guide to Selecting Surface Geophysical Methods (D 6429) is used to identify the geophysical<br>techniques that are, by consensus, the most appropriate for your projects.
