The distribution determines the values of an observable at the surface for example, gravitational acceleration for density . There must be a forward model predicting the surface observations given the distribution of this variable. Applications include geomagnetism , magnetotellurics and seismology .

Forensic geophysics is the study, the search, the localization and the mapping of buried objects or elements beneath the soil or the water, using geophysics tools for legal purposes. There are various geophysical techniques for forensic investigations in which the targets are buried and have different dimensions from weapons or metallic barrels to human burials and bunkers . Geophysical methods have the potential to aid the search and the recovery of these targets because they can non destructively and rapidly investigate large areas where a suspect, illegal burial or, in general, a forensic target was tried to hide in the subsoil. When in the subsurface there is a contrast of physical properties between a target and the material in which it is buried, it is possible to individuate and define precisely the concealing place of the searched target. It is also possible to recognize evidences of human soil occupation or excavation, both recent and older. Forensic geophysics is an evolving technique that is gaining popularity and prestige in law enforcement . citation needed date February 2012 Techniques The primary technique is examining visual and physical properties. Someone trained in forensic geophysics uses their knowledge of the terrain and physical makeup of the earth to find burial sites, survey an outdoor crime scene, or help law enforcement agencies create topographical maps. Ground Based Radar GBR is used to detect objects buried in the ground. In law enforcement investigations, GBR is utilized to detect objects buried in the ground and reveal ground structure.

Exploration geophysics is the applied branch of geophysics which uses surface methods to measure the physical properties of the subsurface Earth , in order to detect or infer the presence and position of ore minerals, hydrocarbons , geothermal reservoirs, groundwater reservoirs, and other geological structures. Exploration geophysics is the practical application of Physics physical methods such as seismic, gravitational, magnetic, electrical and electromagnetic to measure the physical properties of rocks, and in particular, to detect the measurable physical differences between rocks that contain ore deposits or hydrocarbons and those without. Exploration geophysics can be used to directly detect the target style of mineralisation, via measuring its physical properties directly. For example one may measure the density contrasts between iron ore and silicate wall rocks, or may measure the electrical conductivity contrast between conductive sulfide mineral s and barren silicate minerals. Geophysical methods The main techniques used are Seismology Seismic methods , such as reflection seismology , seismic refraction , and seismic tomography . Physical geodesy Geodesy and gravity anomaly gravity techniques , including gravity gradiometry . Magnetism Magnetic techniques , including aeromagnetic survey s.
