Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Principles of Geophysics is an essential, comprehensive resource for researchers and students, emphasizing both the physical basis and practical uses of geophysical methods. In addition, it covers the fundamentals of exploration and the global aspects of geophysics. The authors cover geophysics across a broad spectrum--from basic concepts to advanced mathematical formulae--thereby helping readers from diverse backgrounds to understand the structures, processes and applications of geophysics. Worked examples and a detailed index of equations, symbols and mathematical concepts aid in comprehension and make the book an excellent reference. Chapters are organized into topical self-contained units to suit a diverse readership. The chapters proceed from background theory to rigorous analysis, gradually escalating in mathematical complexity. This format enables the reader to develop either a qualitative understanding of only the material and/or to follow the calculations. The text contains over 200 illustrations.
