Advanced geophysical methods for use in natural resource exploration and geological engineering
Novel Methods in Geophysical Exploration and Geological Engineering presents novel methods for subterranean exploration, such as deep mining, well logging, deep seismic sounding and reflected wave methods, electromagnetic monitoring, radiometric and magnetic methods, stable carbon isotope methods, as well as computational techniques.
Building on experience gained during the past decade, this guide shows how to apply these powerful techniques for the exploration of hydrocarbon and mineral deposits, monitoring soil stability, and the design of earthquake-resistant buildings and structures.
Readers will also find detailed information on:
- Latest advances in geotechnics, exploration geology, geophysics, and rock mechanics
- The influence of magmatic intrusions on the thermal maturation of hydrocarbon reservoirs
- Magneto-acoustic emission of magnetite rocks, including samples of various deposits
- Ore deposits associated with terrestrial impact structures to determine the potential for impact-related mineral deposits on Mars
Novel Methods in Geophysical Exploration and Geological Engineering is a valuable resource for geophysicists, petroleum engineers, geoengineers, petrologists, mining engineers, energy scientists, and economic geologists who wish to gain in-depth insights into the wide range of available methods for characterizing subterranean structures and properties.
