Principles of Electromagnetic Methods in Surface Geophysics

Principles of Electromagnetic Methods in Surface Geophysics contains information about the theory of electromagnetic fields in a conducting media. It describes the theoretical and physical principles of the main geophysical methods using electromagnetic fields, including frequency and transient soundings, electromagnetic profiling, magnetotelluric soundings, high-frequency methods (such as ground-penetrating radar), induction logging in vertical and horizontal boreholes (including measurements while drilling). Special attention is paid to models and signal processing methods used in modern exploration geophysics for groundwater, mineral and hydrocarbon exploration. Offers an integrated approach to the description of electromagnetic geophysical fields used for both surface and borehole geophysical surveys. Provides a clear introduction to the physical background of electromagnetic methods and their application in surface and borehole investigation. Rounds off the treatment of the main geophysical methods: gravity, magnetic seismic, electric and electromagnetic methods INDICE: Part one: The constant electric and magnetic fields Part two: Propagation and diffusion of electromagnetic fields Part three: Quasi-stationary field in a horizontally layered medium Part four: Electromagnetic soundings in a horizontally layered medium Part five: Principles of inductive mining prospecting
