(...) application des principes fondamentaux de la physique à la recherche du pétrole ou des gîtes minéraux et à l'acquisition des renseignements géologiques souterrains.

OBS

La géophysique appliquée est presque synonyme de la géophysique d'exploration mais elle est générale, en ce sens qu'elle inclut en plus l'application de la géophysique aux problèmes de génie, ce qui n'est pas le cas de la géophysique d'exploration.
