Integral Transforms in Geophysics

Integral Transforms of Geophysical Fields serve as one of the major tools for processing and interpreting geophysical data. In this book the authors present a unified treatment of this theory, ranging from the techniques of the transfor- mation of 2-D and 3-D potential fields to the theory of se- paration and migration of electromagnetic and seismic fields. Of interest primarily to scientists and post-gradu- ate students engaged in gravimetrics, but also useful to geophysicists and researchers in mathematical physics.
