Wavelets in Geophysics

The study of wavelets grew from Jean Morlet's geophysical work on seismic signals. Since then wavelets have been developed extensively by mathematicians and others. Wavelets in Qeophysics brings wavelets back to their roots in geophysics. This book shows how geophysical researchers are using wavelets to analyze such diverse phenomena as intermittent atmospheric turbulence, seafloor bathymetry, marine and other seismic data, and flow in aquifers. Used to detect signals against noise, wavelet analysis excels for analyzing transients or spatially localized phenomena. In this fourth volume in the renowed Wavelet Analysis and its Applications series, Eli Foufoula-Grorgiou and Praveen Kumar begin with an overview of nature, power, and scope of wavelet transforms. The eleven chapters that follow will make informative reading for geophysics seeking an up-to-date account of how these tools are being used, as well as for wavelet researchers looking for ideas for applications or even new points of departure.Foufoula-Georgiou, Efi is the author of 'Wavelets in Geophysics', published 2003 under ISBN 9780122628504 and ISBN 0122628500.
