{"product_id":"applied-geophysics-9780521291460","title":"Applied Geophysics","description":"\u003cp\u003eCompletely revised and updated  this new edition of the popular and highly regarded textbook  Applied Geophysics  describes the physical methods involved in exploration for hydrocarbons and minerals. These tools include gravity  magnetic  seismic  electrical  electromagnetic  and radioactivity studies. All aspects of these methods are described  including theoretical considerations  data acquisition  and data processing and interpretation  with the objective of locating concentrations of natural resources and defining their extent. In the past fourteen years or so since the writing of Applied Geophysics  there have been many changes in the field of exploration geophysics. The authors give full treatment to changes in this field  which include improved techniques for calculating gravity fields  the use of proton-precession and optically-pumped magnetometers  improved quality of seismic data  magnetotelluric as a practical exploration method  new electromagnetic exploration methods  the use of gamma-ray spectrometers in radioactive exploration  and improved well-logging techniques. The intent is to be practical  and thus many actual examples and problems are given. Moreover  wherever possible in this edition the authors adopt the use of Systme Internationale (SI) units  which were not in standared use at the time of the first edition. The reader needs only a general background knowledge of geology  physics  and mathematics. Most of the math can be skipped by those interested only in the results. Advanced mathematical concepts are explained in the appendix.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923876216885,"sku":"ByrdShop_0521291461","price":99.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780521291460.jpg?v=1794117774","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/applied-geophysics-9780521291460","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
