About the Book

Although highly theoretical and computer-orientated, seismic tomography has created spectacular images of anomolies within the Earth with dimensions of thousands of kilometers to few tens of meters. These images have enabled Earth scientists working on diverse areas to attack fundamental problems relating to the deep dynamical processes within our planet. Additionally, this technique is being used extensively to study the Earth's hazardous regions such as earthquake fault zones and volcanoes, as well as features beneficial to man such as oil or mineral-bearing structures. This book has been written by world experts and describes the theories, experimental and analytical procedures and results of applying seismic tomography from global to purely local scale. It represents the collective global perspective on the state of the art and focusses not only on the theoretical and practical aspects, but also on the uses for hydrocarbon, mineral and geothermal exploitation. Students and researchers in the Earth sciences, and research and exploration geophysicists should find this a useful, practical reference book for all aspects of their work.

Review :
The coverage is thorough and provides an up-to-date overview of current activity.... The editors have succeeded in getting a much more extensive dicussion of the reliability of results than is usually encountered. - Nature; comprehensive and well-illustrated... demonstrates that seismologists, with their internal exploration techniques, are in the process of becoming the 'doctors of the Earth' - Geotechnique; The book, with its well illustrated innumerable case histories of application will prove to be a good reference book...It truly provides a launching pad' to enter the next century - Journal of the Geological Society
