Abstract

Geophysics, the study of the Earth’s physical properties and processes, has seen remarkable advancements in recent years, driven by technological innovations and interdisciplinary collaborations. This review article provides an in-depth exploration of the latest developments in various geophysical techniques, spanning from traditional methods to cutting-edge technologies. It delves into the applications of seismic, electromagnetic, gravity, magnetic, remote sensing, and geodetic techniques in resource exploration, environmental monitoring, hazard assessment, and fundamental Earth science research. Through a synthesis of recent literature and case studies, this review highlights the transformative impact of geophysics on our understanding of the Earth’s subsurface and surface processes, paving the way for enhanced resource management, risk mitigation, and sustainable development strategies.
