- BoreholeNarrow shaft bored vertically/horizontally for the purposes of examining under-surface conditions or extraction materials.
- Borehole LogPractice of making a detailed record of geological formations in a Borehole.
- Bottom ImagingDocumentation of seabed and sub-bottom materials relying on acousting impedance principles to detect density and type of material.
- Bottom-up ApproachApproach to design and implementation, where implementation starts from the base of the organization or where design is dictated from the bottom tiers of the organization.
- BoundaryDelineation between plots of land to show ownership, often marked by physical landmarks (e.g. fence, trees, boundary markers, etc…).
- Boundary EvidenceProof of boundary for marked parcels of land/plots/property (e.g., Land Title, Deed, survey information, fence, physical marking of boundary lines on terrain, etc…)
- Boundary NodesNodes where hydraulic grade is known (e.g., tanks, reservoirs).
- Boundary Re-establishmentProcess which re-establishes the original survey with a field survey with the use of artifical features (e.g. survey mark, survey pegs, fence, building corners).
- Boundary SurveySurvey conducted to locate and/or establish legal boundaries of parcels of land/plots/property (e.g. physically establishing fence lines).
- Bowditch Traverse AdjustmentMethod to adjust errors in bearings due to angular or linear inaccuracies where it assumes observations are all done to the same degree of precision and that misclosures could be logically distributed within the Survey Run.
