The Fractured Rock Geophysical Toolbox Method Selection Tool (FRGT-MST) is an Excel-based tool for identification of geophysical methods most likely to be appropriate for project goals and site conditions.

There is also a general video available:

1. In the overview of geophysical technologies appropriate for characterization and monitoring at fractured-rock sites. When using the Toolbox can it recommend a combination of more than two near surface geophysical methods?
2. Are there current research grants from research in Fractured rock geophysics using primarily Geoelectrical geophysical methods.

The video gives an overview of geophysical technologies which can be used at fractured rock site. If you download the FGRT and enter your site parameters, the geophysical technologies appropriate for your site will be shown with a green circle. Any geophysical technology not appropriate will be shown with a red circle.

There are current and previous research grants using geophysical methods. Here are a few resources from the SERDP/ESTCP website that should get you started:
