Publications & Presentations

Earthsound Associates have been involved with many exciting geophysical discoveries and regard publication and presentation of results as an essential part of our work. We have published and presented our results in books, journals, magazines, field guides, websites, on video and in radio and TV programmes. We are keen to collaborate with clients in publishing and presenting the results of commissioned surveys.
