Noninvasive and cost effective geophysical techniques rapidly investigate large areas with no impact on the system. This is essential for the characterization of the waste body and the evaluation of the liner integrity at the bottom of the landfill and leakage localization. Three case studies are described with the purpose of highlighting the potentiality of such techniques in landfill studies. The case studies show different site conditions capped landfills, controlled closed systems, and unconfined systems that limit the applicability of any other kind of investigation and, at the same time, highlight the versatility of the geophysical techniques to adapt to several field situations. Electrical and electromagnetic techniques proved to be the most efficient geophysical techniques for providing useful information to develop an accurate site conceptual model.
