| Summary |
"The book fills a gap in the steadily expanding field of applying fractals to the earth science system. In this book the concept of fractal-scaling is applied to a variety of geophysical problems, illustrating what scaling laws really tell us and how they can used to solve various geophysical problems. Keeping in mind the broad range of readers interested in understanding earth's nonlinear dynamics, the authors address diverse recent advances related to fractals and scaling. These include broad applications of fractal theory in potential field methods, electrical and electromagnetic methods, geothermics and seismology, written by a panel of internationally known earth scientists from around the globe."--BOOK JACKET |
| Notes |
"Though the theory of fractals is well established, but still it is in nascent stage of its widespread applicability in geosciences.... The present book is ... primarily aimed at postgraduates and researchers having an interest in geosciences."--Preface |
