Scope:
The book entitled ‘Remote Sensing for Geophysicists’ uses advanced remote sensing techniques for geophysical exploration of oil and gas, minerals, groundwater, and other subsurface earth resources. The book has nine sections each on a most used geophysical technique, and chapters describe the applications of remote sensing useful for that geophysical technique. These sections are gravity methods, magnetic methods, seismic methods, electrical methods, electromagnetic methods, radioactivity methods, geophysical well-logging, geothermics, and integrated geophysical problems.
Contributions dealing with the following aspects (but not limited to) would be appropriate to be included in the book:
· Remote sensing in gravity methods
· Remote sensing in magnetic methods
· Remote sensing in seismic methods
· Remote sensing in electrical methods
· Remote sensing in electromagnetic methods
· Remote sensing in radioactivity methods
· Remote sensing in geophysical well-logging
· Remote sensing in geothermics
· Remote sensing in integrated geophysical problems
The chapters cover various remote sensing techniques suited for a geophysical exploration method. Gravity methods include satellite gravity for surface topography and hydrology, satellite geodesy, and glacial isostatic adjustments. Magnetic methods include satellite-based magnetic anomaly detection, mineral mapping using space-based magnetometers, and ionospheric studies using satellites. Seismic methods use satellite-based seismological applications, e.g., earthquake deformation, three-dimensional reservoir characterization using remote sensing, and the use of multi-satellite data for seismic exploration. Geoelectrical methods use integrated remote sensing approaches for groundwater exploration, hydrogeophysics, satellite-based mineral mapping, and studies of ionospheric geoelectric fields based on satellites. Electromagnetic methods cover a wide range of applications for geophysicists. These include cryogeophysics, the use of drones, remote sensing of biogeophysics, environmental geophysics, hydrogeophysics, agrogeophysics, and satellite-based coastal oceanography. Radioactivity methods include radioactive mineral detection using remote sensing, and detection of marine radioactivity, especially in the coastal regions. Well-logging, which is an invasive technique, can be integrated with remote sensing for groundwater and hydrocarbon exploration. Geothermics includes remote sensing for the detection and monitoring of geothermal sources, geothermal heat fluxes in volcanoes, hot springs, and from beneath the ice-covered regions.
Lastly, integrated geophysical problems use remote sensing in natural hazards, cultural heritage/archeological sites, deformation of the earth’s crust, groundwater exploration, and urban planning. Besides exploration geophysicists, the book will be useful for all those who use earth sciences for various applications. Integrating remote sensing and geophysical exploration techniques has the potential for utilization in planetary exploration, which primarily relies on remote sensing observations.
