Seismoelectric coupling and its current and potential future applications
The seismoelectric method--the naturally-occurring coupling of seismic waves to electromagnetic fields--can provide insight into important properties of porous media. With a variety of potential environmental and engineering uses, as well as larger scale applications such as earthquake detection and oil and gas exploration, it offers a number of advantages over conventional geophysical methods.
Seismoelectric Exploration: Theory, Experiments, and Applications explores the coupling between poroelastic and electromagnetic disturbances, discussing laboratory experiments, numerical modeling techniques, recent theoretical developments, and field studies.
Volume highlights include:
* Physics of the seismoelectric effect at the microscale
* Governing equations describing coupled seismo-electromagnetic fields
* Examples of successful seismoelectric field experiments in different geological settings
* Current and potential applications of seismoelectric coupling
* Noise removal techniques for seismoelectric field measurements
The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.
