Informationen zum Autor Dr. Michael Zhdanov is a distinguished professor in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, USA, and the director of the Consortium for Electromagnetic Modeling and Inversion (CEMI). He is also the founder and CEO of TechnoImaging LLC. Dr. Zhdanov is a leading expert in the field of theoretical and applied geophysics and is the author of more than 400 papers, including more than 15 monographs published in English, Russian, and Chinese, and holds more than two dozen patents. Professor Zhdanov is a full member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, a fellow of the Electromagnetics Academy, USA, and a senior member of IEEE. He received one of the highest awards of the International Society of Exploration Geophysicists, an honorary membership award, in recognition of his distinguished contributions to exploration geophysics and to the advancement of the profession. In this book the author presents both the foundations and the most recent achievements of electromagnetic (EM) geophysical methods in the framework of a unified systematic exposition. The EM methods comprise one of the three principle technologies in applied geophysics (the other two being seismic methods and potential field methods). The book brings together fundamental theory of EM field and practical aspects of EM exploration for mineral and energy resources. The publication is unique in its breadth and completeness in providing a general picture of the current state-of-the-art in EM geophysical exploration technology. Zusammenfassung Presents the electromagnetic (EM) theories and methods employed in EM geophysical exploration for mineral and energy resources. This book presents theoretical and methodological findings, as well as examples of applications of algorithms and software in solving practical problems. It describes the practical importance of electromagnetic data.
