A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

On the first edition: Reading this book has given me considerable pleasure. I have enjoyed its style and presentation of methodology and theory, although naturally the latter is short in an introductory text. I also enjoy the way the subject of geophysical exploration is organised, clarifying both general principles and special aspects and methods. I recommend this text to teachers and also to students for their self study. (Journal of Geophysics) This is a well balanced, clearly illustrated, modern introduction to geophysical exploration methods, which will provide students of all ages with a sound understanding of the principal techniques and the wide range of their applications in resource exploration and engineering geology. (Bulletin of the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy).

Quatrième de couverture

This new edition of the well–established text is fully updated toreflect the important developments in geophysical methods since theproduction of the previous edition. The broad scope of previouseditions is maintained, with even greater clarity of explanationsfrom the revised text and extensively revised figures. Each of themajor geophysical methods is treated systematically developing thetheory behind the method and detailing the instrumentation, fielddata acquisition techniques, data processing and interpretationmethods. The practical application of each method to such diverseexploration applications as petroleum, groundwater, engineering,environmental and forensic is shown by case histories.

The mathematics required in order to understand the text ispurposely kept to a minimum, so the book is suitable for coursestaken in geophysics by all undergraduate students. It will also beof use to postgraduate students who might wish to includegeophysics in their studies and to all professional geologists whowish to discover the breadth of the subject in connection withtheir own work.
