Foundations of Geophysical Electromagnetic Theory and Methods

Foundations of Geophysical Electromagnetic Theory and Methods, Second Edition builds on the strength of the first edition to offer a systematic exposition of geophysical electromagnetic theory and methods. This new edition highlights progress made over the last decade, with a special focus on recent advances in marine and airborne electromagnetic methods. Also included are recent case histories on practical applications in tectonic studies, mineral exploration, environmental studies and off-shore hydrocarbon exploration. The book will appeal to geoscientists working in all areas of geophysics, including exploration geophysics and applied physics, as well as graduate students and researchers working in electromagnetic geophysics. Presents theoretical and methodological findings, as well as applications of recently developed algorithms and software to solve practical problemsDescribes the practical importance of electromagnetic data by enabling discussions on construction of a closed technological cycle, processing, analysis and three-dimensional interpretationFeatures current findings in the field, especially with magneto-variational and seismo-electrical methods and the practice of 3D interpretations INDICE: I.
