Fundamentals of Geophysics

This second edition has been completely revised and updated, and now contains review questions and exercises, making it the ideal geophysics textbook for undergraduate students of geoscience with an introductory level of knowledge in physics and mathematics. It is a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental principles of each major branch of geophysics, and presents geophysics within the wider context of plate tectonics, geodynamics and planetary science. Solutions to the exercises and electronic copies of the figures are available at www.cambridge.org/9780521859028.
