This detailed book systematically investigates subsurface geological fractures using rock mechanics, geology, and geophysics. Based on geological fracture mecha

Perfect for senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students in geophysics, physics, mathematics, geology and engineering, this book is devoted exclusivel

Observing offset-dependent seismic reflectivity has proven to be a valuable exploration tool for the direct detection of hydrocarbons. This monograph provides a

This thesis studies the numerical seismic modeling of a simulated fractured medium to analyze variations of seismic reflection amplitudes with incident and azim

The first part of my thesis focuses on seismic modeling in fractured media. Several recent developments in finite elements such as usage of high degree polynomi
