Opis

Electromagnetic Sounding of the Earth's Interior 2nd edition provides a comprehensive up-to-date collection of contributions, covering methodological, computational and practical aspects of Electromagnetic sounding of the Earth by different techniques at global, regional and local scales. Moreover, it contains new developments such as the concept of self-consistent tasks of geophysics and, 3-D interpretation of the TEM sounding which, so far, have not all been covered by one book. Electromagnetic Sounding of the Earth's Interior 2nd edition consists of three parts: I- EM sounding methods, II- Forward modelling and inversion techniques, and III - Data processing, analysis, modelling and interpretation. The new edition includes brand new chapters on Pulse and frequency electromagnetic sounding for hydrocarbon offshore exploration. Additionally all other chapters have been extensively updated to include new developments.

• Presents recently developed methodological findings of the earth's study, including seismoelectrical and renewed magnetovariational approaches
• Provides methodological guidelines for Electromagnetic data interpretation in various geological environments
• Contains a balanced set of lectures covering all aspects of Electromagnetic sounding at global, regional and local levels along with case studies, highlighting the practical importance of electromagnetic data
• Updates current findings in the field, in particular MT, magnetovariational and seismo-electrical methods and the practice of 3D interpretations

Recenzje

"The articles are well written, and the text is heavily referenced to published material in the field. In general, the book reads like a binder of related journal articles about specific topics in the fields of MT and MV rather than as a reference book about EM geophysics.

Overall, the book is a good collection of recent developments mostly in MT and MV, with some general information interspersed throughout, and is probably a good addition to the collection of someone who is working in these branches of EM geophysics or who has some domain knowledge and wishes to learn more about recent developments in MT." --The Leading Edge

"Practitioners of electromagnetic methods will find it a useful reference volume, and there are comprehensive reference lists should the reader wish to delve further into a particular subject. It also provides a helpful overview for nonspecialists wanting to learn more about the discipline." --The Leading Edge
