《近地表地球物理學》是一本國際期刊，主要出版近地表地球物理學的研究與發展。它強調地質、水文地質、巖土、環境、工程、采礦、考古、農業和地球物理的其他應用以及物理土壤和巖石性質。歡迎創新性地使用地球物理技術的地球物理和地球科學案例，其中可能包括改進儀器、測量、數據采集和處理、建模、反演、解釋、項目管理和多學科使用。那些使用地球物理數據但不一定是地球物理學家的人也應該能理解這些論文。

Near Surface Geophysics is an international journal for the publication of research and development in geophysics applied to near surface. It places emphasis on geological, hydrogeological, geotechnical, environmental, engineering, mining, archaeological, agricultural and other applications of geophysics as well as physical soil and rock properties. Geophysical and geoscientific case histories with innovative use of geophysical techniques are welcome, which may include improvements on instrumentation, measurements, data acquisition and processing, modelling, inversion, interpretation, project management and multidisciplinary use. The papers should also be understandable to those who use geophysical data but are not necessarily geophysicists.
