Suitable for geophysicists, geologists, and petroleum engineers in the oil industry who wish to expand their knowledge beyond their specialized area, this book offers an account of the composition and formation of tar sands and oil shales, and concludes with a brief review of prospect risk analysis, reserve estimation, and other economic topics.

Covers the physical and mathematical principles of electric methods in applied geophysics.

Focuses on the far reaching exploration benefits of anisotropic processing. This volume describes the reflection seismic signatures and processing methods in anisotropic media. It identifies the key parameters for time and depth imaging in transversely isotropic media and describes practical methodologies for estimating them from seismic data.

This book introduces the powerful Finite-Difference Time-Domain method to students and interested researchers and readers. An effective introduction is accomplished using a step-by-step process that builds competence and confidence in developing complete working codes for the design and analysis of various antennas and microwave devices. This book will serve graduate students, researchers, and those in industry and government who are using other electromagnetics tools and methods for the sake of performing independent numerical confirmation. No previous experience with finite-difference methods is assumed of readers.Key featuresPresents the fundamental techniques of the FDTD method at a graduate level, taking readers from conceptual understanding to actual program development.Full derivations are provided for final equations.Includes 3D illustrations to aid in visualization of field components and fully functional MATLAB® code examples.Completely revised and updated for this second edition, including expansion into advanced techniques such as total field/scattered field formulation, dispersive material modeling, analysis of periodic structures, non-uniform grid, and graphics processing unit acceleration of finite-difference time-domain method.
