## Reading Resources

### Geophysics for the Mineral Exploration Geoscientist
The following PDF provides a really good and compact set of examples for how to interpret seismic refraction data:
- [Seismic Refraction - Appendix 6 (pdf)](https://cpslo-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/jjasbins_calpoly_edu/ETXQXdEm_OFPtOrPTCSZ70IBRvrb_JDahz87D2Ou8TLaSg?e=GbzbIZ) and [figure files (zip file)](https://cpslo-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/jjasbins_calpoly_edu/EYQvfGDtC8ZJvpr4DSeDFIcBoVVfKgvTEL-jZtC_uqaqpg?e=jRnxqT)

This book is also a great and modern resource for geophysical methods (don't let the "mineral exploration" part of the name throw you off - the methods have broad relevance. Nonetheless, mineral exploration is more important than ever ...)
