A system of geophysical units is proposed which is based on the International System of Units, using the meter, the kilogram, the second and the ampere as fundamental units. A historical introduction is given and the reasons for preferring the use of the International System of Units in exploration geophysics, are explained. At the meeting of the European Association of Exploration Geophysicists at Stockholm a resolution will be proposed recommending the use in exploration geophysics of the International System of Units.
