This enduringly popular undergraduate textbook has been thoroughly
reworked and updated, and now comprises twelve chapters covering the
same breadth of topics as earlier editions, but in a substantially
modernized fashion to facilitate classroom teaching. Covering both
theoretical and applied aspects of geophysics, clear explanations of
the physical principles are blended with step-by-step derivations of
the key equations and over 400 explanatory figures to explain the
internal structure and properties of the planet, including its
petroleum and mineral resources. New topics include the latest data
acquisition technologies, such as satellite geophysics, planetary
landers, ocean bottom seismometers, and fibre optic methods, as well
as recent research developments in ambient noise interferometry,
seismic hazard analysis, rheology, and numerical modelling - all
illustrated with examples from the scientific literature.
Student-friendly features include separate text boxes with auxiliary
explanations and advanced topics of interest; reading lists of
foundational, alternative, or more detailed resources; end-of-chapter
review questions and an increased number of quantitative exercises.
Completely new to this edition is the addition of computational
exercises in Python, designed to help students acquire important
programming skills and develop a more profound understanding of
geophysics.
