Many geological features of the Earth’s lithosphere create variations in the Earth’s magnetic field that can be detected by satellites. The resulting magnetic anomaly maps can provide new insights into the tectonic features and broad structures of the lithosphere. This book documents the acquisition, reduction and analysis of satellite magnetic field data in the study of the Earth’s lithosphere. The text considers issues of interpreting data, summarizes various interpretation methods, considers rock magnetism concepts and sources of variation in magnetism, and provides a comp

While many books cover the theory of optimal design, few help readers to actually apply it. this volume is one of the first to aid readers in utilizing the theory of optimal control to solve practical problems in the face of uncertainty. Bryson covers random inputs and random errors in measurement, uncertainty in inputs from the environment, and uncertainty in the parameters of the dynamic model. He also addresses static and dynamic estimation, random processes, several types of controllers, smoothers, and filters. Pedagogic features include hundreds of problems and worked examples, a CD-ROM s

The Solid Earth is a general introduction to the study of the physics of the solid Earth, including the workings of both the Earth’s surface and its deep interior. The emphasis throughout is on basic physical principles rather than instrumentation or data handling. The second edition of this acclaimed textbook has been revised to bring the content fully up-to-date and to reflect the most recent advances in geophysical research. It is designed for undergraduates on introductory geophysics courses who have a general background in the physical sciences, including introductory calculus. It c

Verbal protocol analysis (VPA) is a methodology that is being used extensively by researchers. Recently, individuals working in the area of testing, and in language testing in particular, have begun to appreciate the roles VPA might play in the development and evaluation of assessment instruments. VPA is a complex methodology however, and individuals choosing to use the technique require some degree of training in order to maximise the benefits in adopting this approach, and in order to avoid some of the more common misunderstandings and pitfalls associated with the use of verbal data.
