Au terme de cette longue énumération de méthodes et de procédés, nous constatons avec satisfaction le progrès rapide et l'importance croissante de la géophysique appliquée au cours de ces dernières décennies. La liste des méthodes traitées dans ce manuel n'est pas exhaustive. Ainsi, nous avons omis les méthodes géothermiques [...]. Par contre, nous avons insisté sur les méthodes géophysiques intégrées, i.e. la combinaison judicieuse de levés géophysiques appropriés à une étude ou à un problème spécifique. 3, record 2, French, - lev%C3%A9%20g%C3%A9ophysique
