Wavelet Analysis and Its Applications,
Description
Applications of wavelet analysis to the geophysical sciences grew from Jean Morlet's work on seismic signals in the 1980s. Used to detect
signals against noise, wavelet analysis excels for transients or for spatiallylocalized phenomena. In this fourth volume in the renown
WAVELET ANALYSIS AND ITS APPLICATIONS Series, Efi Foufoula-Georgiou and Praveen Kumar begin with a self-contained overview of the nature,
power, and scope of wavelet transforms. The eleven originalpapers that follow in this edited treatise show how geophysical researchers
are using wavelets to analyze such diverse phenomena as intermittent atmospheric turbulence, seafloor bathymetry, marine and other seismic
data, and flow in aquifiers. Wavelets in Geophysics will make informative reading for geophysicists seeking an up-to-date
account of how these tools are being used as well as for wavelet researchers searching for ideas for applications, or even new points
of departure.
Audience
Researchers and practitioners in geophysics, civil engineering, mineral engineering, petroleum engineering, and applied mathematics.
