2nd Edition. Tools for Seismic Analysis of Porous Media. Cambridge
University Press, 2009
ISBN-13 978-0-521-86136-6, ISBN-13 978-0-511-65062-8
The science of rock physics addresses the relationships between
geophysical observations and the underlying physical properties of
rocks, such as composition, porosity, and pore fluid content. The
Rock Physics Handbook distills a vast quantity of background theory
and laboratory results into a series of concise, self-contained
chapters, which can be quickly accessed by those seeking practical
solutions to problems in geophysical data interpretation.
In addition to the wide range of topics presented in the First
Edition (including wave propagation, effective media, elasticity,
electrical properties, and pore fluid flow and diffusion), this
Second Edition also presents major new chapters on granular
material and velocity–porosity–clay models for clastic sediments.
Other new and expanded topics include anisotropic seismic
signatures, nonlinear elasticity, wave propagation in thin layers,
borehole waves, models for fractured media, poroelastic models,
attenuation models, and cross-property relations between seismic
and electrical parameters. This new edition also provides an
enhanced set of appendices with key empirical results, data tables,
and an atlas of reservoir rock properties expanded to include
carbonates, clays, and gas hydrates.
Supported by a website hosting MATLAB routines for implementing the
various rock physics formulas presented in the book, the Second
Edition of The Rock Physics Handbook is a vital resource for
advanced students and university faculty, as well as in-house
geophysicists and engineers working in the petroleum industry. It
will also be of interest to practitioners of environmental
geophysics, geomechanics, and energy resources engineering
interested in quantitative subsurface characterization and modeling
of sediment properties.

Blackwell, 1989.-379 pp. ISBN 0865423350. This book is assembled the bits and pieces from a variety of disciplines which are relevant to an understanding of the Earth. Rocks and magmas are our most direct source of information about the interior, but they are biased toward the properties of the crust and shallow mantle. Seismology is our best source of information about the deep interior; however, the interpretation of seismic data for purposes o...
Braun J., van der Beek P., Batt G. Quantitative Thermochronology: Numerical Methods for the Interpretation of Thermochronological Data
Cambridge University Press, 2006, 258 pages Thermochronology, the study of the thermal history of rocks, provides an important record of the vertical motions of bodies of rock over geological timescales, enabling us to quantify the nature and timing of tectonic processes. Isotopic age data constrain the ages of rocks and minerals, but in many cases they are interpreted without a proper understanding of the relationship between the age measured...
