Fundamentals of Geophysics
Second Edition
This second edition of Fundamentals of Geophysics has been completely revised and
updated, and is the ideal geophysics textbook for undergraduate students of geoscience
with only an introductory level of knowledge in physics and mathematics.
Presenting a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles of each major
branch of geophysics (gravity, seismology, geochronology, thermodynamics,
geoelectricity, and geomagnetism), this text also considers geophysics within the wider
context of plate tectonics, geodynamics, and planetary science. Basic principles are
explained with the aid of numerous figures, and important geophysical results are
illustrated with examples from scientific literature. Step-by-step mathematical
treatments are given where necessary, allowing students to easily follow the derivations.
Text boxes highlight topics of interest for more advanced students.
Each chapter contains a short historical summary and ends with a reading list that
directs students to a range of simpler, alternative, or more advanced, resources. This
new edition also includes review questions to help evaluate the reader’s understanding
of the topics covered, and quantitative exercises at the end of each chapter. Solutions to
the exercises are available to instructors.

  is Professor Emeritus of Geophysics at the Institute of Geophysics at


the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zürich, where he has taught and
carried out research for over 30 years. His research interests include rock magnetism,
magnetostratigraphy, and tectonic applications of paleomagnetic methods.

Preface to the second edition

In the ten years that have passed since the publication of the first edition of this text-
book exciting advances have taken place in every discipline of geophysics.
Computer-based improvements in technology have led the way, allowing more
sophistication in the acquisition and processing of geophysical data. Advances in
mass spectrometry have made it possible to analyze minute samples of matter in
exquisite detail and have contributed to an improved understanding of the origin of
our planet and the evolution of the solar system. Space research has led to better
knowledge of the other planets in the solar system, and has revealed distant objects
in orbit around the Sun. As a result, the definition of a planet has been changed.
Satellite-based technology has provided more refined measurement of the gravity
and magnetic fields of the Earth, and has enabled direct observation from space of
minute surface changes related to volcanic and tectonic events. The structure, com-
position and dynamic behavior of the deep interior of the Earth have become better
understood owing to refinements in seismic tomography. Fast computers and
sophisticated algorithms have allowed scientists to construct plausible models of
slow geodynamic behavior in the Earth’s mantle and core, and to elucidate the
processes giving rise to the Earth’s magnetic field. The application of advanced
computer analysis in high-resolution seismic reflection and ground-penetrating
radar investigations has made it possible to describe subtle features of environmen-
tal interest in near-surface structures. Rock magnetic techniques applied to sedi-
ments have helped us to understand slow natural processes as well as more rapid
anthropological changes that affect our environment, and to evaluate climates in the
distant geological past. Climatic history in the more recent past can now be deduced
from the analysis of temperature in boreholes.
Although the many advances in geophysical research depend strongly on the aid
of computer science, the fundamental principles of geophysical methods remain the
same; they constitute the foundation on which progress is based. In revising this
textbook, I have heeded the advice of teachers who have used it and who recom-
mended that I change as little as possible and only as much as necessary (to para-
phrase medical advice on the use of medication). The reviews of the first edition, the
feedback from numerous students and teachers, and the advice of friends and col-
leagues helped me greatly in deciding what to do.
The structure of the book has been changed slightly compared to the first
edition. The final chapter on geodynamics has been removed and its contents inte-
grated into the earlier chapters, where they fit better. Text-boxes have been intro-
duced to handle material that merited further explanation, or more extensive
treatment than seemed appropriate for the body of the text. Two appendices have
been added to handle more adequately the three-dimensional wave equation and the
cooling of a half-space, respectively. At the end of each chapter is a list of review
questions that should help students to evaluate their knowledge of what they have
read. Each chapter is also accompanied by a set of exercises. They are intended to
provide practice in handling some of the numerical aspects of the topics discussed

in the chapter. They should help the student to become more familiar with geophys-
ical techniques and to develop a better understanding of the fundamental princi-
ples.
The first edition was mostly free of errata, in large measure because of the
patient, accurate and meticulous proofreading by my wife Marcia, whom I sincerely
thank. Some mistakes still occurred, mostly in the more than 350 equations, and
were spotted and communicated to me by colleagues and students in time to be cor-
rected in the second printing of the first edition. Regarding the students, this did not
improve (or harm) their grades, but I was impressed and pleased that they were
reading the book so carefully. Among the colleagues, I especially thank Bob
Carmichael for painstakingly listing many corrections and Ray Brown for posing
important questions. Constructive criticisms and useful suggestions for additions
and changes to the individual revised chapters in this edition were made by Mark
Bukowinski, Clark Wilson, Doug Christensen, Jim Dewey, Henry Pollack,
Ladislaus Rybach, Chris Heinrich, Hans-Ruedi Maurer and Mike Fuller. I am very
grateful to these colleagues for the time they expended and their unselfish efforts to
help me. If errors persist in this edition, it is not their fault but due to my negligence.
The publisher of this textbook, Cambridge University Press, is a not-for-profit
charitable institution. One of their activities is to promote academic literature in the
“third world.” With my agreement, they decided to publish a separate low-cost
version of the first edition, for sale only in developing countries. This version
accounted for about one-third of the sales of the first edition. As a result, earth
science students in developing countries could be helped in their studies of geo-
physics; several sent me appreciative messages, which I treasure.
The bulk of this edition has been written following my retirement two years ago,
after 30 years as professor of geophysics at ETH Zürich. My new emeritus status
should have provided lots of time for the project, but somehow it took longer than I
expected. My wife Marcia exhibited her usual forbearance and understanding for
my obsession. I thank her for her support, encouragement and practical sugges-
tions, which have been as important for this as for the first edition. This edition is
dedicated to her, as well as to my late parents.
