Content:
In recent years the improvement in efficiency, availability and popularity of computer software has tended to outpace geologists' ability to use it to full potential. This book aims to close the gap by providing concise explanations of the essential concepts involved in the analysis of geological data, together with descriptions and examples of the most important techniques. The text includes many self-contained worked examples, providing clear models of how data analysis may be used to obtain geologically useful results. The book is aimed primarily at second or third year undergraduates in geology or earth science, but will also be fund to be relevant to more specialised postgraduate courses.
