Offers a comprehensive presentation of the physical properties of rocks. This book contains theoretical and experimental results relating to the main geophysical properties - density, magnetic properties, natural radioactivity, elastic and anelastic properties, electrical and thermal.
List of contents
Rock Physics as an Integrated and Integrating Component of Geosciences. Pore Space Properties: Porosity, Specific Internal Surface, and Permeability. Density of Rocks. Magnetic Properties of Rocks. Natural Radioactivity of Rocks. Elastic Properties of Rocks. Seismic Wave Attenuation. Thermal Properties of Rocks. Electrical Properties of Rocks. Some Relationships Between Various Physical Properties of Rocks.
Report
"...the collective nature of the work makes it a useful reference to have around, especially given the re-emergence of methods such as electromagnetics for oil field applications over a range of scales of measurement. The treatment if fully pertinent to geophysical research, where the integration of diverse methodolgoes is widely practised. It is also relevant to aspects of (shallow) engineering geophysics. I am pleased to commend it to persons working in all three areas, as a highly useful and informative reference work."
