Inverse Theory and Applications in Geophysics (Methods in Geochemistry and Geophysics)

• Presents state-of-the-art geophysical inverse theory developed in modern mathematical terminology―the first to treat many kinds of inversion and imaging techniques in a unified mathematical way
• Provides a critical link between the methods used in gravity, electromagnetic, and seismic imaging and inversion, and represents an exhaustive treatise on geophysical inversion theory
• Features more than 300 illustrations, figures, charts and graphs to underscore key concepts
• Reflects the latest developments in inversion theory and applications and captures the most significant changes in the field over the past decade
