Reviews

This is a refreshingly straightforward and clear account, underpinned by loads of real examples...It works extremely well, because the author knows exactly what he's writing about, because he has done it, and because he is thinking in terms of three-dimensional geology all the time...It is the most practical book on remote sensing in geology to date... And its an enjoyable read, too! Journal of Petroleum Geology
