"...the collective nature of the work makes it a useful reference to have around, especially given the re-emergence of methods such as electromagnetics for oil field applications over a range of scales of measurement. The treatment if fully pertinent to geophysical research, where the integration of diverse methodolgoes is widely practised. It is also relevant to aspects of (shallow) engineering geophysics. I am pleased to commend it to persons working in all three areas, as a highly useful and informative reference work." --Petroleum Geoscience, 2005 "...a comprehensive and concise systematic presentation of the physical properties of rocks. " --Petroleum Abstracts, 2005 "...can be a useful reference to those involved in estimating rock properties from seismic and well logging measurements, as well as others needing a reference to relate different physical properties. " --The Leading Edge, 2005
The interpretation of geophysical data in exploration geophysics, well logging, engineering, mining and environmental geophysics requires knowledge of the physical properties of rocks and their correlations. Physical properties are a "key" for combined interpretation techniques. The study of rock physics provides an interdisciplinary treatment of physical properties, whether related to geophysical, geotechnical, hydrological or geological methodology. Physical Properties of Rocks, 2nd Edition, describes the physical fundamentals of rock properties, based on typical experimental results and relevant theories and models. It provides readers with all relevant rock properties and their interrelationships in one concise volume. Furthermore, it guides the reader through experimental and theoretical knowledge in order to handle models and theories in practice. Throughout the book the author focuses on the problems of applied geophysics with respect to exploration and the expanding field of applications in engineering and mining geophysics, geotechnics, hydrology and environmental problems, and the properties under the conditions of the upper Earth crust.
