Practical Applications of Time-lapse Seismic Data (Distinguished Instructor)
by David H. Johnston
Time-lapse (4D) seismic technology is a key enabler for improved hydrocarbon recovery and more cost-effective field operations. Practical Applications of Time-lapse Seismic Data (SEG Distinguished Instructor Series No. 16) shows how 4D seismic data are used for reservoir surveillance, how they provide valuable insight on dynamic reservoir properties such as fluid saturation, pressure, and temperature, and how they add value to reservoir management. The material, based on the 2013 SEG Distinguish...
MIT Geophysical Analysis Group (Scientist and Science, #5)
by Dr Enders Anthony Robinson
Reichard's Environmental Geology third edition continues to emphasize how humans interact with the environment within a geological context. The writing style holds the interest of non-major students and includes recent, relatable geologic events. Each chapter incorporates student activities and discussion questions designed to give students a personal connection to the topic.
Probabilistic Safety Assessment for Seismic Events (IAEA TECDOC)
Probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) is considered to be an important tool for assessing the safety of nuclear installations (typically used for safety assessment of nuclear power plants) in relation to potential initiating events that can be caused by random component failure and human error, as well as internal and external hazards. The purpose of seismic PSAs performed on nuclear installations is to provide risk insights related to their seismic robustness. The methodology for seismic safety...

Theory of Plate Tectonics
During the past 40 years, a new model has emerged and revolutionized earth sciences like perhaps no other before. The theory of Plate Tectonics is now well-established and forms the basis of our current understanding of the structure and dynamics of our earth. In particular, plate tectonics explains geologic features on the crust over a wide scale, such as the distribution of land and sea, the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanism. Tectonic plates are composed of the rigid outer por...
Geophysical Inverse Theory and Regularization Problems (Methods in Geochemistry and Geophysics, #36)
by Mikhail Semenovich Zhdanov and Michael S. Zhdanov
This book presents state-of-the-art geophysical inverse theory developed in modern mathematical terminology. The book brings together fundamental results developed by the Russian mathematical school in regularization theory and combines them with the related research in geophysical inversion carried out in the West. It presents a detailed exposition of the methods of regularized solution of inverse problems based on the ideas of Tikhonov regularization, and shows the different forms of their a...

The Seismogenic Zone of Subduction Thrust Faults (MARGINS Theoretical and Experimental Earth Science)
Subduction zones, one of the three types of plate boundaries, return Earth's surface to its deep interior. Because subduction zones are gently inclined at shallow depths and depress Earth's temperature gradient, they have the largest seismogenic area of any plate boundary. Consequently, subduction zones generate Earth's largest earthquakes and most destructive tsunamis. As tragically demonstrated by the Sumatra earthquake and tsunami of December 2004, these events often impact densely populated...
Touring New Mexico Hot Springs (Touring Hot Springs)
by Matt C Bischoff
This latest entry in the popular Touring Hot Springs series takes hot-water enthusiasts to some of the best bubbly puddles in the Southwest. These geothermal wonders are fun to explore and fun to soak in, whether in isolated backcountry or surrounded by the trappings of civilization. This book includes important information on how to find the springs and what to expect when you get there, as well as the history of the sites.
