Opis

Active geophysical monitoring is an important new method for studying time-evolving structures and states in the tectonically active Earth's lithosphere. It is based on repeated time-lapse observations and interpretation of rock-induced changes in geophysical fields periodically excited by controlled sources. In this book, the results of strategic systematic development and the application of new technologies for active geophysical monitoring are presented. The authors demonstrate that active monitoring may drastically change solid Earth geophysics, through the acquisition of substantially new information, based on high accuracy and real-time observations. Active monitoring also provides new means for disaster mitigation, in conjunction with substantial international and interdisciplinary cooperation.

• Introduction of a new concept
• Most experienced authors in the field

O autorze

Junzo Kasahara received B. S., M.S., and D.Sc. degrees in Geophysics from Nagoya University in 1965, 1967, and 1970, respectively. Between 1970 -1986 and 1988-2004, he was the assistant, associate, and full professors at the university of Tokyo. He worked in marine seismology. During 1974,1976, and in 1979, was the visiting associate professor of University of Hawaii. In 1986, he joined Schlumberger Japan as manager for seismic interpretation and the logging tool design. During his academic works, he published three books from the University of Tokyo Press. He was awarded the professor of emeritus of the University of Tokyo. In 2004, he joined Tono Geoscience Center as a senior researcher, where he worked on the ACROSS project. Between 2004 and 2008, he served for the extension of the Japan Continental Shelf. Currently, he is the principal investigator for the geothermal project and visiting professor at the University of Shizuoka. Michael Zhdanov has been Professor at the University of Utah, Utah, USA, since 1993 and has been a director of CEMI since 1995. He received a Ph. D in 1970 from Moscow State University. He was a professor at the Moscow Academy of Oil and Gas, and head of the Department of Deep Electromagnetic Study before moving to the University of Utah. He was awarded an Honorary Diploma of Gauss Professorship by the Gottingen Academy of Sciences, Germany, in 1990 and was elected a full member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences in 1991. He received an Honorary Professorship from the China National Center of Geological Exploration Technology in 1997 and an Honorary Membership Award from the Society of Exploration Geophysicists in 2013. Dr. Zhdanov was elected as the Distinguished Professor at the University of Utah in 2016. He has been a Fellow of the Electromagnetics Academy, since 2002.
