“The Magnetotelluric Method: Theory and Practice” was published this month by Cambridge University Press. It was co-written and co-edited by Professor Alan G. Jones (Geophysics Section, School of Cosmic Physics).
The magnetotelluric method is a technique for imaging the electrical conductivity and structure of the Earth, from the near-surface down to the 410 km transition zone and beyond. It is increasingly used in geological applications and the petroleum industry. This book forms the first comprehensive overview of magnetotellurics, from the salient physics and its mathematical representation, to practical implementation in the field, data processing, modeling and geological interpretation.
Electromagnetic induction in one-, two- and three-dimensional media is explored, building from first principles, and with thorough coverage of the practical techniques of time-series processing, distortion, numerical modeling and inversion. The fundamental principles are illustrated with a series of case histories describing geological applications. Technical issues, instrumentation and field practices are described for both land and marine surveys.
This book provides a rigorous introduction to the magnetotelluric method for academic researchers and advanced students, and will be of interest to industrial practitioners and geoscientists wanting to incorporate rock conductivity into their interpretations.

Meet the Judges of our "Reach for the Stars" Astrophotography competition! @MartinaPQuinn is the Founder & Managing Director of @helloalicepr.
Want to learn more about what's happening on Mars? Check out our public lecture from November delivered Dr John Clinton and titled MarsQuakes! (5/5) youtu.be/_Lp0oLJ8Ahs
And then this Thursday @NASAMars Perseverance rover reaches Mars, which will try to land in a near equatorial crater called Jezero. Here you can see a possible route around the crater. (4/5)
Last Wednesday, the day the UAE revealed their first image of Mars, China's National Space Administration's Tianwen-1 arrived at Mars. This carries a rover which will be despatched to the surface in the coming months. (3/5) bbc.com/news/science-e…
First up is the @uaespaceagency's Hope mission entered orbit this day last week. It is the first inter-planetary mission by the UAE, and will stay in a wide orbit for one Martian year or two earth years to study climate and weather. (2/5)
It's a busy month over at our planetary neighbour Mars. Three missions headed there have or will enter orbit this month. Why so many at one time? They were timed to launch when the distance between the Earth and Mars was relatively short. (1/5)
