Geological Parameter Analysis and Scoring

The document evaluates potential investigative techniques for understanding different geological parameters of a location. It breaks the parameters down into lithological, structural, chemical, and temporal categories and assigns each a potential technique as well as a weighting and score to indicate its importance.
