An Introduction to Geophysical Exploration

Beschreibung

This new edition of the well-established Kearey and Brooks text isfully updated to reflect the important developments in geophysicalmethods since the production of the previous edition. The broadscope of previous editions is maintained, with even greater clarityof explanations from the revised text and extensively revisedfigures. Each of the major geophysical methods is treatedsystematically developing the theory behind the method anddetailing the instrumentation, field data acquisition techniques,data processing and interpretation methods. The practicalapplication of each method to such diverse exploration applicationsas petroleum, groundwater, engineering, environmental and forensicis 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.

"The book is popular with geophysics students, a result of itsclear and concise style, the presentation of information a thelevel required for the earlier years of an undergraduate degree,and figures which are also clear and concise." GeophysicalJournal International on the second edition "No doubt that this volume will once again prove to be a classictextbook for undergraduate and graduate students in geology,geophysics, and for anyone interested in Earth Science." TheEGGS, February 2003 "Overall...this is an excellent book and no doubt will continueto be recommended for many undergraduate courses." GeologicalMagazine, August 2003
