Description and Table of Contents
Description
This comprehensive treatise is the first to be devoted solely to the study of the effect of electrical anisotropy in the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the earth. The book handles a wide range of local, regional and global geophysical problems. It also provides analytical solutions to complex physical situations, related numerical results, and graphic displays for many fundamental and applied problems. The following specific problems of solid-earth relevance are discussed in detail: direct-current mapping of anisotropic sedimentary formations; anisotropic effects in well-logging measurements; mutual impedance measurements (frequency and time domain) in induction prospecting on the anisotropic earth; low-frequency communication in anisotropic coal mines; crustal mapping by magnetotellurics for a layered dipping anisotropic and inhomogeneous earth; deep electromagnetic sounding in areas of geodynamic interest; numerical modelling of laterally inhomogeneous anisotropic conductors; data interpretation by inversion techniques for anisotropic media; and laboratory and field results on anisotropic formations.
