Synopsis

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, and magnetotelluric soundings. 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 surface geophysical surveys
• Provides a clear introduction to the physical background of electromagnetic methods and their application
• Rounds off the treatment of the main geophysical methods: gravity, magnetic seismic, electric and electromagnetic methods
