A few days in the life of an Engineering Geophysicist

I appreciated the recent serious discussion between Messrs Stapledon and Fell on the value of engineering geophysics. My own experience when trying to utilize geophysics in an integrated site investigation has been generally one of despair. For the education of readers I attach an actual TRIP LOG made during a recent geophysical survey of a port site. There have been bigger disaster areas in this potent field but not many as this state of affairs is often the lot of a contractor using other peoples gear from seismic equipment to survey vessels. Names in the TRIPLOG have been changed to protect the innocent. How can geophysicists remain SANE under conditions like these – oh yes, well, maybe they don’t?
