| Summary |
Annotation This second edition builds on the strength of the first edition to offer a systematic exposition of geophysical electromagnetic theory and methods. The new edition highlights progress made over the last decade, with a special focus on recent advances in marine and airborne electromagnetic methods. Also included are recent case histories on practical applications in tectonic studies, mineral exploration, environmental studies and off-shore hydrocarbon exploration. |
