A healthy resurgence of interest in physical geography as a basic, essential ingredient of the American geography curriculum has made itself felt in the near-decade elapsing between publication of the first edition of physical geography and the present revision. We may never return to the early form of environmental determinism, to which reaction wa…
During the past seven years my students and I have approached the problem of seismic deconvolution from many points of view. This book brings together those seven years of work. It is addressed rent audience-practitioners of recursive estimation theory and geophysical signal processors-who, it is hoped, will be drawn closer together by it. Estimatio…
The compilation of a handbook to the Grampian Highlands is a task of considerable complexity because of the wide field of geological subject it has to cover and the fact that, as research workers are still very active in the area, opinions are constantly being modified. While a large measure of agreement has been reached concerning major problems wh…
This book emerged from courses of lectures in Applied Mathematics given some time ago in the Universities of Auckland, Melbourne and Sydney. The present edition preserves the form of the more mathematical parts of the previous editions, but contains a number of major changes and much new matter, especially in the second half of the book. The earlier…
The Society of Exploration Geophysicists is proud to publish this Memorial Volume honoring the late Dr. Morris Miller Slotnick was an out standing figure in the geophysical field and during his career was the author of numerous papers dealing with geophysical interpretaion. Some of the computing prosedures which he developed have been used extensive…
The subjects of sediment transport and flow in alluvial streams are gaining importance with the increasing utilization of water resources. Considerable research has been done in sediment transportation and the problems related to alluvial streams in the past four decades by hydraulic engineers, geologist and researchers from other disciplines such a…
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 …
The complexity of an underground mining system offers a wide range of interesting and challenging problems to the industrial engineer or mining system analyst. This reference analytical methods, modeling techniques, and performance measurement appoches for use in evaluating underground mining system.
With an increasing awareness of the finiteness of ore reserves and hence of the need for increasingly sophisticated and expensive exploration techniques, economic geology has emerged as a fruitful discipline. In this book the relevance of the new global tectonic models are assessed in their relation to man's search for future geological resources. A…
This book ofters geologists and petroleumengineers the unique change to study well-logging data compiled during the actual drilling of 14 wells in different formation. Each well presented unique challenges and problems in the areas of kick detection, abnormal pressures, and drilling through shales, evaporites and sandstones. Technical background dat…
