Czech environmental and engineering geophysics

The geophysical methods in geotechnics, hydrogeology and in environment have a relatively rich tradition in the Czech Republic. The first geoelectrical measurement for the soil investigation and for the dam place choice was made in the years 1940 and 1941 by the doyen of Czech geophysicists Rudolf Bghounek, later the first professor for applied geophysics at the Natural Faculty in Charles University.
