Remote Sensing for Geophysicists
About this book
Geophysical exploration methods are very expensive and invasive methods for surveys. Remote sensing methods are non-invasive and much cheaper for investigating the Earth's surface. This book bridges this gap and aims to integrate exploration geophysics with remote sensing as a cost-effective method which is easy to implement for prospecting in different areas. It provides exploration geophysicists with the necessary information to use advanced remote sensing technology in the exploration of oil and gas, minerals, and groundwater. It describes the integration of remote sensing in each of the nine exploration methods based on over 11 case studies from different countries across the globe.
Features:
- Describes the geophysical exploration methods that geophysicists frequently use, along with suitable remote sensing techniques
- Offers a well-structured one-stop guide for finding a suitable remote sensing technique for a specific geophysical exploration method
- Provides case studies on the exploration of oil, gas, and groundwater with step-by-step instructions using remote sensing technology
- Serves as a practical field book for exploration geophysicists who never used or rarely use remote sensing.
- Enables exploration geophysicists to understand and interpret remote sensing data for the assessment of complex explorations
This book is an excellent resource for professionals, researchers, academics, and students with a background in remote sensing across many disciplines in Earth sciences such as geology, hydrology, petrology, mining, geography, geosciences, etc.
