Industry Reviews
"Overall, the book provides an insight into the new application and development of various techniques for oil and mineral exploration and engineering geology problems. The book also provides fundamental ideas from geochemistry, geophysics, geotechnical methods, model development, statistical and mathematical techniques for understanding the various methods applied for such studies. The main highlights of the book which are likely to secure a place for it in the libraries of the university, research institutes as well as exploration industries include: (i) an appropriate balance of basics and fundamental theory of newly developed technologies with essential case studies; (ii) various applications, usability and significance in different domains; (iii) cautious addition of chapters with thorough reviews for each section and applications to various problems; (iv) eloquent yet eDcient style of writing, excellent quality and high-class illustrations further augment the understanding of concepts. The edited book is an excellent compilation of the latest developments in the Beld, backed up by compendium of updated references, and proper fundamentals which would beneBt the researchers, academicians, as well as industry personnel." --Journal of Earth System Science (Indian Academy of Sciences)
