Basics of Computational Geophysics provides a one-stop, collective resource for practitioners on the different techniques and models in geoscience, their practical applications, and case studies. The reference provides the modeling theory in an easy-to-read format that is verified with onsite models for specific regions and scenarios, including the use of big data and artificial intelligence. This book offers a platform whereby readers will learn theory, practical applications, and the comparison of real-world problems surrounding geomechanics, modeling and optimizations.

Dr. Samui is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at NIT Patna, India. He received his PhD in Geotechnical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, India, in 2008. His research interests include geohazard, earthquake engineering, concrete technology, pile foundation and slope stability, and application of AI for solving different problems in civil engineering. Dr. Samui is a repeat Elsevier editor but also a prolific contributor to journal papers, book chapters, and peer-reviewed conference proceedings. Barnali Dixon is a professor and executive director of Initiative on Coastal Resilience and Adaptation (iCAR) and the director of Geospatial Analytics lab (G-SAL) at the University of South Florida. Her research interests include the development and application of spatially integrated decision support tools (SDST) using GIS, GPS and remote sensing tools for modeling and managing soil, land use and land-water interfaces (terrestrial sources and aquatics sinks, including coastal waters) using approximation tools. She is particularly interested in transdisciplinary modeling of land-water interface under climate change in the context of planning, adaptation, and resilience. I have secured over $1.5 million in funding, published 50+ refereed publications, nineteen monographs, and technical reports. Dieu Tien Bui is Professor in GIS, in the Department of Business and IT at the University of South-Eastern Norway, Norway. He obtained a Master of Engineering, at Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, Hanoi, Vietnam, a PhD at the Department of Mathematical Sciences and Technology (IMT), Norwegian University, and was postdoctoral researcher in the same department. His research interests include GIS, remote sensing, artificial intelligence and machine learning. He published journal and review articles, and book chapters. .
