Geophysical Signal Analysis

by Enders A. Robinson, Sven Treitel

This text, an introduction to geophysical signal analysis, is concerned with the construction, analysis, and interpretation of mathematical and statistical models. In general, it is intended to provide material of interest to upper undergraduate students in mathematics, science, and engineering. Much of this book requires only a knowledge of elementary algebra. However, at some points, a familiarity with elementary calculus and matrix algebra is needed. The practical use of the concepts and techniques developed is illustrated by numerous applications. Care has been taken to choose examples that are of interest to a variety of readers. Therefore, the book contains material of interest to both geophysicists and those engaged in digital signal analysis in disciplines other than geophysics. This book is a reprint of the 1980 Prentice-Hall volume of the same name.Also Near-Surface Geophysics - ISBN 1560801301

About the author

Dr. Enders Anthony Robinson was director of the MIT Geophysical Analysis Group and he developed the first digital signal filtering methods to process seismic records used in oil exploration. He then worked in the oil industry both as a geophysicist and as an economist, having received degrees in both field from MIT. In 1988, he was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for pioneering contributions to digital seismic processing.
