"... good for both graduate students and instructors in geophysics. It is also useful for scientists and engineers working in geophysical exploration. In my opinion, as a geophysicist who works with EM, this book is a valuable reference on my desk." --The Leading Edge

Principles of Electromagnetic Methods in Surface Geophysics contains information about the theory of electromagnetic fields in a conducting media. It describes the theoretical and physical principles of the main geophysical methods using electromagnetic fields, including frequency and transient soundings, electromagnetic profiling, and magnetotelluric soundings. Special attention is paid to models and signal processing methods used in modern exploration geophysics for groundwater, mineral and hydrocarbon exploration.
