Description
Concise, self-contained survey of data processing methods in geophysics and other sciences, for upper level science and engineering students.
About the Author
Clark R. Wilson is the Carlton Centennial Professor of Geophysics at the University of Texas, Austin. After undergraduate studies in physics (University of California, San Diego) and graduate work in geophysics (Masters and PhD) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, he joined the faculty of the Department of Geological Sciences at UT Austin. His research has ranged over diverse fields including applied seismology, space geodesy, and hydrology. He has twice served as Department Chair, and spent three years at NASA Headquarters overseeing programs in geodynamics and potential fields.
Reviews
'This is an excellent textbook for a course on signal processing for 3rd-year geophysics students. Wilson does a great job of taking explanations that are often scattered across engineering books and adapting them towards the needs of geophysicists using relevant examples from the field. It has the perfect balance between depth and simplicity for undergraduates.' Daniel Trad, University of Calgary
'Wilson's book is an excellent compilation of tools and techniques commonly used by practitioners for analyzing various kinds of data arrays. Although the ideas are presented in the context of geophysics, they can be extended to extract information from geochemical and geobiological datasets with the same finesse. The use of real datasets and easy-to-follow explanations of complex mathematical formulations makes the book a good read.' Priyank Jaiswal, Oklahoma State University
'... I would recommend this volume not only for graduate and advanced undergraduate students, but for professional geophysicists who could use it as a refresher course.' Patrick Taylor, The Leading Edge
