Publisher's Synopsis
This book details both conventional and advanced geophysical techniques with description of physics involved into different methodologies of magnetotellurics (MT). It offers detailed discussions of the theory of EM and MT methods, the operation of specific instruments including the presentation of results and their interpretation in tabular format. The chapters describe conceptual background of MT geophysical methods along with the related instrumentation, sufficient illustrations and applicability of the individual methodology supported by successful case histories.Features: Provides a comprehensive introduction to the Magnetotelluric (MT)-Geophysical Method. Covers diverse geotectonic settings with several case studies supported by several diagrams and data tables. Describes fundamentals of uncontrollable telluric and controllable non-telluric sources used in MT surveys. Reviews MT methods with emphasis on recent improvement, recognizing both static and distortion effects and their treatment in analysis of impedance tensors in 3D inversion codes. Explores integrated MT interpretation coupled with seismic and potential (gravity, magnetic) geophysical methods. This book is aimed at professionals, students and researchers in geophysics, geology, and other earth sciences.
