Fractal Models in Geophysics: Seismic Modeling and Interpretation, Second Edition,describes fractal-based models for characterizing and interpreting complex, subsurface geological structures based on gravity and magnetic data. The book introduces the inverse problem using a fractal approach, which is then developed with the implementation of a global optimization algorithm for seismic data (VFSA), aka, very fast simulated annealing. It discusses applications in seismic exploration, modeling, interpretation and rock property estimation. In addition, the book demonstrates how fractal theory has challenged the concept of random distribution of source''s properties, such as reflectivity, density, porosity.

As such, it is a valuable resource for geophysicists and exploration geologists, as well as those interested in the study of seismicity and reservoirs.



  • Serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying the application of fractals in exploration, modeling, and interpretation, and for practitioners directly applying field data for geophysical modeling and estimating reservoir rock properties
  • Discusses the basic principles and practical applications of time-lapse seismic reservoir monitoring technology
  • Demonstrates how the fractal theory can be used in the processing and inversion of seismic data and seismic reservoir characterization
  • Includes updates throughout to reflect advances in the field and technology
