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.
Please see the following for a complete list of
publications and presentations:
