Turbulence in Geophysics

Fluid in Geophysics including atmosphere and ocean, compared with the normal fluid in Hydrodynamics, its properties, such as density, pressure, temperature and velocity, all change along with altitude. That is to say, fluid in Geophysics is stratified. Therefore, the characteristics of its turbulence at different stratifications will not be the same, either. Some special characteristics, as wel...

Preface Fractals in geophysics

Geophysical phenomena of interest to geoscientists include both atmospheric and terrestrial related processes, which can be either static or dynamic. Characterization of such phenomena requires advanced models which often include scale invariance concepts of fractal or multi-fractal type. Recently, there has been much interdisciplinary interest in the application of geophysical processes. The a...

Reservoir geophysics

The concept of petroleum reservoir geophysics is relatively new. In the past, the role of geophysics was largely confined to exploration and, to a lesser degree, the development of discoveries. As cost-efficiency has taken over as a driving force in the economics of the oil and gas industry and as major assets near abandonment, geophysics has increasingly been recognized as a tool for improving...

Selected Topics in Nuclear Geophysics

Nuclear Geophysics is essential to the oil, gas and uranium industries. The initial development of nuclear geophysics was focused on developing techniques needed by the oil industry. Developments in nuclear physics and computational analysis were immediately used this field. Today, techniques developed in nuclear geophysics are also used by the coal and metalliferous mining industries and contr...
