Description for Geophysics for the Mineral Exploration Geoscientist
hardcover. A state-of-the-art overview of geophysical methods for mineral exploration, demonstrating practical application and interpretation supported by real geophysical data examples. Num Pages: 454 pages, 330 colour illus. 15 tables. BIC Classification: PHVG; RBG. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 224 x 279 x 24. Weight in Grams: 1510.
Providing a balance between principles and practice, this state-of-the-art overview of geophysical methods takes readers from the basic physical phenomena, through the acquisition and processing of data, to the creation of geological models of the subsurface and data interpretation to find hidden mineral deposits. Detailed descriptions of all the commonly used geophysical methods are given, including gravity, magnetic, radiometric, electrical, electromagnetic and seismic methods. Each technique is described in a consistent way and without complex mathematics. Emphasising extraction of maximum geological information from geophysical data, the book also explains petrophysics, data modelling and common interpretation pitfalls. Packed with full-colour figures, ... Read more

Reviews for Geophysics for the Mineral Exploration Geoscientist
'More and more, great ore deposits are being found under cover and knowledge of exploration geophysics provides a distinct advantage in their discovery. Dentith and Mudge provide a clear, comprehensive, up-to-date, and (very significantly) applied approach for the general geologist, demonstrating how to locate concealed orebodies by employing modern-day geophysical techniques.' Richard J. Goldfarb, Fellow, Society of Economic Geologists 'Readers ... Read more
