La Ciencia Geofísica
El cuadro adjunto sintetiza la fuerza relativa y el alcance de los cuatro campos de fuerza fundamentales del Universo. En el caso de la gravedad y el electromagnetismo (campos potenciales ambos), como es sabido, la fuerza disminuye en relación inversa con el cuadrado de la distancia. Las fuerzas Nuclear Fuerte y Débil sólo actúan a escala del núcleo […]
Introducción a la Estratigrafía Secuencial
La finalidad del curso es presentar los conceptos básicos de la Estratigrafía Secuencial a personas no vertidas en este método, para que puedan leer, sin mayor problema de conceptos teóricos y de vocabulario, publicaciones especializadas.
El Arte de Citar Correctamente
A continuación se presenta un resumen de las nociones generales sobre el correcto uso de las “citas” y “referencias” bibliográficas, lo cual será de gran utilidad para el estudiante en la confección de sus seminarios de curso y posteriormente para su desarrollo profesional. Objetivo: Reconocer las formas características de citar un trabajo y hacer referencias […]
Syntactic Pattern Recognition for Seismic Oil Exploration
DESCRIPCIÓN DEL TEXTO The use of pattern recognition has become more and more important in seismic oil exploration. Interpreting a large volume of seismic data is a challenging problem. Seismic reflection data in the one-shot seismogram and stacked seismogram may contain some structural information from the response of the subsurface. Syntactic/structural pattern recognition techniques can […]
Exploration of Gas Hydrates: Geophysical Techniques
DESCRIPCIÓN DEL TEXTO Gas hydrates are ice-like crystalline substances that form a rigid cage of water molecules and entrap hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gas by hydrogen bonding. Natural gas hydrate is primarily composed of water and methane. These are solid, crystalline, ice-like substances found in permafrost areas and deepwater basins around the world. They naturally occur […]
Field Geophysics
DESCRIPCIÓN del texto Since publication of the 2nd edition, there have been considerable advances in instrumentation, and far-reaching developments in applications for small-scale geophysical surveys. Much more can now be done in the field by way of processing and data display, and even interpretation.Covering applications in mineral exploration, engineering/environmental studies, hydrogeology and archaeology, this book puts emphasis on practical […]
Groundwater Geophysics: A Tool for Hydrogeology
Edited by Reinhard Kirsch, this book demonstrates the use of geophysics for the detection and delineation of groundwater resources. As well as being an excellent reference, it could also be used as a textbook. An addition to the bookshelf of any geophysicist.
Applied Geophysics in Periglacial Environments
DESCRIPCIÓN DEL TEXTO Many research problems in cryospheric science, such as global warming-induced permafrost degradation, require information about the subsurface, which can be imaged using geophysical methods. This book is a practical guide to the application of geophysical techniques in mountainous and polar terrain, where the harsh environment and nature of the subsurface pose particular […]
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
This second edition of the widely acclaimed Geophysical Fluid Dynamics by Joseph Pedlosky offers the reader a high-level, unified treatment of the theory of the dynamics of large-scale motions of the oceans and atmosphere. Revised and updated, it includes expanded discussions of * the fundamentals of geostrophic turbulence * the theory of wave-mean flow interaction * thermocline theory * finite amplitude barocline instability. From the reviews: “The author has done a masterful job in presenting the theory with the necessary mathematical foundation, while keeping the physical aspects in clear view…it is an outstanding introduction to a complex and important subject.” GEOPHYSICS
