It will be noted that the general theme concerns filtering in the broad sense and not merely the different operations applied to seismic sections during processing at playback centers. We therefore construe filtering here to be the whole system of transformations imparted to seismic data by the earth, the processing. That is why we have studied the …
This book is intended to serve two major functions: to be a textbook for an advance undergraduate or graduate level course in paleoecology and to be a reference work and review for the professional paleontologist. Paleoentology is both sfecialized and broad. It is specialized in the sense of being only one aspect in the field of paleontology, and it…
This text diffes in many respects from the conventional approach to geology, so it may be appropriate to indicate some of the objectives that led to its development. Most important and most difficult to realize was the ideal of a book embodying throughout the scientific method. It was felt that the material should alternate between an investigatory …
This manual was written primarily to assist undergraduate students in field training. It also offers some specialized procedures and data to advanced students and professional geologists. To keep the book a reasonable length, the more specialized materials are presented by brief descriptions, outlines, and diagrams. I have tried, however, to describ…
Each the student develops a personal style in the use of a text. Whatever your own approach, you will find that we have incorporated a number of features which will help you in your study of physical geology. Some of these features bear mention here. There are many possible arrangements of material that can be used in presenting a first course in ph…
