Fundamentals and Practice of Nuclear Logging: A Subsurface Measurement Technique exposes the reader to the basic physics utilized in nuclear measurements, exploring how it is used in tool design and interpretation. Nuclear/atomic techniques, first used in 1939 to probe the subsurface, are now a key component of the suite of down-hole physics measurements used to study geological media. These techniques allow both static and dynamic characterization of geological formations and of well-bores, with a range of interpretations unattainable from any other single subsurface technique. Fundamentals and Practice of Nuclear Logging: A Subsurface Measurement Technique discusses safety and security challenges inherent in current radionuclide-based techniques and the research underway to mitigate these risks, using advanced generator-based methods where the physics and interpretation can change. The book is designed for upper division and graduate students to gain an insight on the fundamentals an

SAR Oceanography: Monitoring Oceanic Dynamics with Synthetic Aperture Radar is an authoritative reference for scientists and professionals involved in marine remote sensing and oceanography. The book addresses the critical need for advanced techniques to observe and analyze ocean surface phenomena such as wind, waves, currents, internal waves, and oil spills using SAR technology. It emphasizes the importance of SAR in tropical cyclone monitoring, providing insights into high-resolution, all-weather, day-and-night observations essential for climate research, disaster response, and maritime safety. The content is divided into chapters covering SAR algorithms, applications in different oceanic processes, and recent technological developments. It offers practical case studies and validation methods, making it a valuable resource for researchers, meteorologists, environmental policymakers, and remote sensing specialists. This publication enhances understanding of ocean dynamics and supports
