Fractal Models in Exploration Geophysics

Fractal theory is widely applied in various branches of the earth sciences. In the field of exploration geophysics, new methods for the acquisition, processing and interpretation of gravity and magnetic data were developed for realistic geology - known as scaling geology - based on detailed investigations of several bore wells around the globe. This volume describes fractal-based models for characterizing complex subsurface geological structures. The authors introduce the inverse problem using a fractal approach and develop this with the implementation of a global optimization algorithm for seismic data: very fast simulated annealing (VFSA). This approach provides high-resolution inverse modeling results, which are particularly useful for reservoir characterization.
