In recent years, Human activities due to the fast urbanization and population growth have caused serious damage to the near surface environment around the world, resulting in frequent geohazards, which bring huge lost to people’s lives and property. It is a challenge to avoid such damage while keeping a high rate of economic growth.

As a branch of geo?physics, near-surface geophysics can be effectively applied to the detection and assessment of rock-soil slopes, ground deforma?tion, mine disasters, dam damage, land and water conservation, and protection and improvement of the environment. The geophysical techniques used are non-intrusive, non-destructive, cost-effective, large-scale or small-scale, and can remotely acquire three- and even four-dimensional data that repre?sent underground structures. Due to broad applications of geophysical techniques in the environmental and engineering fields, they are of great significance for the sustainable develop?ment of the human society.
