Electromagnetic Sounding of the Earth's Interior 2nd edition provides a comprehensive up-to-date collection of contributions, covering methodological, computational and practical aspects of Electromagnetic sounding of the Earth by different techniques at global, regional and local scales. Moreover, it contains new developments such as the concept of self-consistent tasks of geophysics and , 3-D interpretation of the TEM sounding which, so far, have not all been covered by one book. Electromagnetic Sounding of the Earth's Interior 2nd edition consists of three parts: I- EM sounding methods, II- Forward modelling and inversion techniques, and III - Data processing, analysis, modelling and interpretation. The new edition includes brand new chapters on Pulse and frequency electromagnetic sounding for hydrocarbon offshore exploration. Additionally all other chapters have been extensively updated to include new developments. - Presents recently developed methodological findings of the earth's study, including seismoelectrical and renewed magnetovariational approaches - Provides methodological guidelines for Electromagnetic data interpretation in various geological environments - Contains a balanced set of lectures covering all aspects of Electromagnetic sounding at global, regional and local levels along with case studies, highlighting the practical importance of electromagnetic data - Updates current findings in the field, in particular MT, magnetovariational and seismo-electrical methods and the practice of 3D interpretations

The behavior of the magnetic and electric fields from a vertical magnetic dipole source at the surface of the earth (after Wait [1951,1955]). earth, the experimental curve so plotted should have the same shape as a portion of the ap propriate theoretical curve, but with the ordinates and abscissas shifted by an amount dependent on the resistivity. The conductivity can be determined from the amount of shift between the field data and the theoretical curve. A detailed description of the curve matching procedure is found in a text by Keller and Frischknecht (1966). The curve matching procedure, though used, has several disadvantages. Measurements must be made over a diagnostic portion of the theoretical curve, one in which there is some curvature, so that the amount of shift required to make a match can be determined uniquely. This means that the approximate conductivity of the earth must be known when measurements are made. Secondly, determination of a single value of conductivity requires measurements made over a wide range of frequencies. This would appear to be wasteful of data, inasmuch as the equations indicate that a single measurement at a single frequency should be enough to de termine conductivity.

In the fall of 1970, I went to Delft sounding - all with application of the digital University of Technology to do my doctoral linear filtering approach I developed in thesis under the supervision of Professor association with Professor Koefoed. Since Otto Koefoed at the geophysical laboratory. that time I have had it in mind to publish a He immediately directed my attention to the collection of multilayer earth numerical tables for compiling master curves to assist R&D project in electromagnetic depth sounding that was being pursued at the in interpreting electromagnetic geophysical laboratory. Aware of my admiration for his surveys. And this is how this volume has work, I immediately settled on pursuing evolved. research for my doctoral thesis in electro magnetics, which he gladly accepted. I was In this volume, after discussion of the indeed happy to work with him, as this had theory and interpretation of EM sounding, numerical tables of mutual coupling ratios been my long cherished ambition. for horizontal coplanar, perpendicular, and vertical coplanar loop configurations on the During the course of my graduate work at Delft, I realized that although EM surface of a four- and three-layer earth are sounding was gaining importance with the presented; the results can be readily ex rapid advancement of the EM theory for tended to other configurations. The numerical various applications including petroleum tables are extensive in that they have been and geothermal resources exploration, the computed over a wide range of parameters.
