Opis

This combined textbook and reference manual introduces key topics and techniques in gravity and magnetic exploration, with practical online resources.

Recenzje

'… the authors should be congratulated on producing a scholarly book on an enduring geophysics core subject. "Grav/Mag" is still seen by many as a "value for money" tool for exploring Earth's crusts and upper mantle in frontier offshore and onshore areas and a necessary geophysical technique to employ prior to seismic and drilling. The book will certainly be on my shelf and I trust on that of many other explorationists also.' Marine Geophysical Research
