Neural computing in geophysics

The 17th century philosopher-mathematician Rene Descartes offered the statement “Cogito, ergo sum” or “I think, therefore I am” as proof of his personal existence. While modern computers using artificial intelligence technologies cannot mat...

Encyclopedic Dictionary of Applied Geophysics

The fourth edition of SEG's best seller is a valuable, comprehensive reference that is a must for every geophysicist, geologist, explorationist, engineer, energy adviser, economist, editor, and student involved in the field. Hundreds of ter...

Handbook of geophysics and archaeology

Geophysics influences a wide range of subjects, from environmental studies to archaeology, palaeontology to counter-terrorism and law enforcement. 'Handbook of Geophysics and Archaeology' offers a comprehensive overview of geophysical techn...

An introduction to electrical resistivity in geophysics

Physicists are finding that the skills they have learned in their training may be applied to areas beyond traditional physics topics. One such field is that of geophysics. This paper presents the electrical resistivity component of an under...

Geophysics in Engineering Investigations

The Construction Directorate of the DTI supports the programme of innovation and research to improve the construction industry's performance and to promote more sustainable construction. Its main aims are to improve quality and value for mo...

Geophysics Under Stress

This is a recording of the 2010 Distinguished Instructor Short Course (DISC) by Colin Sayers. The state of stress within the earth has a profound effect on the propagation of seismic and borehole acoustic waves, this leads to many important...

Fractals in Geology and Geophysics

The definition of a fractal distribution is that the number of objects N with a characteristic size greater than r scales with the relation N ~ r −D . The frequency-size distributions for islands, earthquakes, fragments, ore deposits, and o...

Encyclopedia of Exploration Geophysics

The Encyclopedia of Exploration Geophysicsincludes contributions of textbook- and tutorial-style articles on any topic of exploration and development geophysics. Articles are written either at an introductory level, accessible to students a...

Landslide monitoring with interferometric SAR in Liugui, a vegetated area

Interferometric SAR analysis with a time series of images obtained from satellite has been proven to be a useful monitoring scheme for geomorphological changes, particularly related to the vertical dimension. The success of this technique r...

A Terrain-Feature-Aware Multiscale PTD for Airborne LiDAR Ground Filtering

Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) has become an indispensable tool for earth observation, supporting applications such as digital terrain modeling, environmental monitoring, and geohazard assessment. A fundamental challenge in Li...

Glass as a biomaterial: strategies for optimising bioactive glasses for clinical applications

Bioactive glasses were the first synthetic materials to bond to human body tissue, making them ideal for replacing and regenerating bone. Since their first development over half a century ago, many new bioactive glass compositions have been...

Modernizing GNSS data acquisition, pre-processing, and distribution at volcanological observatories

In recent years, the field of geodetic monitoring is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the transition from GPS-only positioning to a fully multi-GNSS environment. With Galileo, BeiDou, and modernized GPS & GLONASS constella...

Wavelet Analysis in Geophysics: An Introduction

The Solid Earth: An Introduction to Global Geophysics

The most difficult aspect of teaching an introductory geophysics course is deciding how to best combine the necessary mathematics and theory with their applications to the Earth. Some texts present a classical approach emphasizing the mathe...

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...

Wavelets in Geophysics

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 ...

Application of the Reuterin System as Food Preservative or Health-Promoting Agent: A Critical Review

The reuterin system is a complex multi-component antimicrobial system produced by Limosilactobacillus reuteri by metabolizing glycerol. The system mainly includes 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA, reuterin), 3-HPA dimer, 3-HPA hydrate, acrol...
