TextLanguage: English Publication details: Cambridge, United Kingdom : Cambridge University Press, 2020. Edition: 3rd edDescription: xii, 727pISBN: 9781108420266Subject(s): Rocks | GeophysicsDDC classification: 552.1 Online resources: Table of Contents | Reviews Summary: Responding to the latest developments in rock physics research, this popular reference book has been thoroughly updated while retaining its comprehensive coverage of the fundamental theory, concepts, and laboratory results. It brings together the vast literature from the field to address the relationships between geophysical observations and the underlying physical properties of Earth materials - including water, hydrocarbons, gases, minerals, rocks, ice, magma and methane hydrates. This third edition includes expanded coverage of topics such as effective medium models, viscoelasticity, attenuation, anisotropy, electrical-elastic cross relations, and highlights applications in unconventional reservoirs. Appendices have been enhanced with new materials and properties, while worked examples (supplemented by online datasets and MATLAB® codes) enable readers to implement the workflows and models in practice. This significantly revised edition will continue to be the go-to reference for students and researchers interested in rock physics, near-surface geophysics, seismology, and professionals in the oil and gas industries.
Includes worked examples to demonstrate the commonly used rock physics models and their potential pitfalls
Extensive tables are included outlining the properties of different Earth materials, enabling easy comparison and providing an invaluable reference
New tables on melts, magmas, mantle minerals, ice and salt have been added to the appendix to provide comprehensive coverage of Earth material
