About 52 Things You Should Know About Rock Physics
Product Description The popular geoscience series returns with another volume on exploration geophysics. This time the 46 authors — including seasoned scientists and newcomers to the field — tackle the more quantitative side of the field. There is something for every geoscientist here, especially anyone involved in petroleum, mining, or geothermal exploration. Review Rock physics provides the key linking geophysical observation to lithology and in situ conditions. Consequently, the importance of rock physics continues to grow. One danger in this growth of popularity, however, is that our practices risk becoming codified and distilled into innovation-killing 'best-practice work flows', as has occurred in many of the sister disciplines. Thankfully, the mixtures of minerals and fluids we call rocks stubbornly refuse to be so casually treated -- Bianco and Hall's compilation contains many thoughts on foundation concepts, but balanced with the caveats under which they apply. It reminds us of the old adage that "all models are wrong, some are just less wrong than others" and that all measurements are uncertain. 52 Things You Should Know About Rock Physics admonishes us that we have a lot to learn, and as such contributes to keeping rock physics a fresh and young discipline. -- Professor Doug Schmitt, University of Alberta Awesome -- a must for QI specialists and a delight for non-specialists. -- Paul de Groot, founder of dGB Earth Sciences Hall and Bianco have generated a readable book on rock physics by attracting some of the top names in our industry to contribute to this useful work. -- Mike Bahorich, president of SEG 2002-03 About the Author The technical editors are Matt Hall and Evan Bianco.
