S. K. Runcorn; Interpretation Theory in Applied Geophysics Grant (McGraw-Hill, 140s.), Geophysical Journal International, Volume 11, Issue 5, 1 December 1966, P...

Equations of State of Solids for Geophysics and Ceramic Science

Abstract Written by a renowned expert in the field, this book is the most comprehensive treatment available on the applications of equations of state (EoS) in geophysics and materials science, a topic of fundamental importance to those stud...

Fractals and Chaos in Geology and Geophysics

The fundamental concepts of fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics, along with the related concepts of multifractals, self-similar time series, wavelets, and self-organised criticality, are introduced in this book, for a broad range of reade...

The Solid Earth: An Introduction to Global Geophysics

The Solid Earth is a general introduction to the study of the physics of the solid Earth, including the workings of both the Earth's surface and its deep interior. The emphasis throughout is on basic physical principles rather than instrume...

Wavelets in Geophysics

Fundamentals of Geophysics

Choosing an intermediate‐level geophysics text is always problematic: What should we teach students after they have had introductory courses in geology, math, and physics, but little else? Fundamentals of Geophysics is aimed specifically at...

Environmental and Engineering Geophysics

Geophysical imaging methods provide solutions to a wide range of environmental and engineering problems: protection of soil and groundwater from contamination; disposal of chemical and nuclear waste; geotechnical site testing; landslide and...

An Introduction to Applied and Environmental Geophysics

Like many of us, John Reynolds, the author of this comprehensive introductory geophysical textbook, has struggled with the challenge of teaching geophysics to students possessing only very basic mathematical skills and a limited background ...

International Geophysics Series

Handbook of geophysics and the space environment

This fourth edition of the Air Force Handbook of Geophysics and the Space Environment has been completely revised. It begins with chapters on the sun and its emissions, then treats the earth's magnetic field and the radiation belts, and fol...

Applied Geophysics

This is the completely revised and updated version of the popular and highly regarded textbook, Applied Geophysics. It describes the physical methods involved in exploration for hydrocarbons and minerals, which include gravity, magnetic, se...

Fundamentals of Geophysics

This second edition of Fundamentals of Geophysics has been completely revised and updated, and is the ideal geophysics textbook for undergraduate students of geoscience with an introductory level of knowledge in physics and mathematics. It ...

Influence of strain measurement methods on crack initiation and crack damage thresholds of shale

Abstract The crack initiation stress (σ ci) and crack damage stress (σ cd) are two important stress thresholds for describing the progressive failure process of rocks. Accurately obtaining these two stress thresholds is crucial for analyzin...

Monitoring of coastal dynamics at Subang Regency using Landsat Collection Data and Cloud Computing Based

This study aims to better understand the coastal dynamics along the 6.89 km of Subang shoreline using Landsat data and GIS methods with cloud computing-based analysis. The data is processed using remote sensing techniques, image classificat...

A macrozoobenthic data set of the Black Sea northwestern shelf

Abstract Benthic ecological data are crucial to study and manage ecosystems. On the one hand, abiotic and species data provide complementary information to identify habitats. On the other hand, trait data, describing taxon characteristics, ...

Integrated Geotechnical Approach and GIS for Identification of Geological Resources Exploitable Quarries for Sustainable Development in Ifni Inlier and Lakhssas Plateau (Western Anti Atlas, Morocco)

The purpose of this paper is to identify, quantify and delineate the areas with suitable aggregate resources in the Precambrian massif of Ifni and the limestone plateau of Lakhssas (southwest Morocco). To fulfill this objective, a study was...

Temporal properties of seismicity and largest earthquakes in SE Carpathians

In order to estimate the hazard rate distribution of the largest seismic events in Vrancea, South-Eastern Carpathians, we study temporal properties of historical and instrumental catalogues of seismicity. First, on the basis of Generalized ...

Modelling effective diffusion for accurate NMR pore size analysis in nano- and microporous rocks

Abstract Low-field NMR (LF-NMR) is a widely applied technique for evaluating pore size distribution (PSD) in porous materials. Conventional approaches typically assume surface-controlled spin-spin relaxation and negligible diffusion contrib...

From the Somigliana waves to the evanescent waves

The Rayleigh equation has real coefficients; therefore, also the case of complex conjugated roots may be explained physically. The Author proves that the Somigliana waves may be formed for Poisson ratio values until 0.30543; for gradually l...
