Geosciences: Applications of Imaging Techniques

Geoscience or Earth science, is the study of the Earth's physical properties, processes and history. It includes the examination of rocks and minerals to understand the Earth's structure and formation (geology), the study of atmospheric phenomena and weather patterns (meteorology), the exploration of oceanic processes and marine ecosystems (oceanography) and the analysis of interactions between the environment and natural systems (environmental science). This field investigates natural events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and climate variations, aiming to understand their causes and effects. Geoscience also involves the study of natural resources, including minerals, water and fossil fuels, to promote sustainable management. By integrating various disciplines, geoscience provides insights into the Earth's past, present, and future dynamics, helping to address environmental challenges and predict natural disasters. The topics included in this book on geoscience are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different areas of natural sciences, and its applications. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
