Overview

Geophysics is a branch of natural science concerned with the scientific analysis of the physical properties and processes of Earth and its surrounding atmosphere or space. The principles of geophysics are used to explore and study geological phenomena such as tectonic shifts, volcanism, rock formation, etc. Applications of geophysics can be found in the areas of natural hazard mitigation, mineral resource exploration and environmental protection. Chapters in this book are compiled comprehensively to provide detailed information about the upcoming concepts and theories of geophysics while also discussing modern techniques and principles. The book also attempts to present studies that have transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
