Electromagnetic Sounding of the Earth's Interior

With over 30 years’ geophysics experience, Dr. Spichak’s main research interests include joint interpretation of electromagnetic and other geophysical data, indirect estimation of the Earth’s physical properties from the ground electromagnetic data, and computational electromagnetics. Spichak has authored and edited 8 books with Elsevier, including Electromagnetic Sounding of the Earth's Interior (2015). He is the winner of the Gamburtsev award for the monograph “Magnetotelluric fields in three-dimensional models of geoelectrics” (1999) and the Schmidt medal for outstanding achievements in Geophysics (2010).

"The articles are well written, and the text is heavily referenced to published material in the field. In general, the book reads like a binder of related journal articles about specific topics in the fields of MT and MV rather than as a reference book about EM geophysics.Overall, the book is a good collection of recent developments mostly in MT and MV, with some general information interspersed throughout, and is probably a good addition to the collection of someone who is working in these branches of EM geophysics or who has some domain knowledge and wishes to learn more about recent developments in MT." --The Leading Edge"Practitioners of electromagnetic methods will find it a useful reference volume, and there are comprehensive reference lists should the reader wish to delve further into a particular subject. It also provides a helpful overview for nonspecialists wanting to learn more about the discipline." --The Leading Edge
