Introduction to Earth Sciences: A Physics Approach is an introduction to geophysics that will help students understand the earth and its place in the universe.

What does this book cover?

The revised second edition of Introduction to Earth Sciences: A Physics Approach is very different from the first. Each of its 12 chapters have been greatly expanded or improved, and 6 more have been added. These changes keep it up to date with the state of the art in many different fields and disciplines.

In this book, you’ll explore:

• The physical properties of the earth, and the forces that keep it in a stable orbit around the sun
• The resources of the earth’s depths and surface, and how they can be reached and exploited
• The hazards of weather and climate change, and how they can be mitigated

About the Author

Luc Thomas Ikelle has many years of experience in geophysical research. He is an expert in marine seismic survey data manipulation, anisotropic seismic data collection, the analysis of sensor energy scatter, and multiply attenuated seismic signal acquisition.

In Introduction To Earth Sciences: A Physics Approach, he shares his expertise in both the mechanics of geophysical research and the complex picture of the earth that research allows us to develop. Suitable for beginning physics classes.
