This second edition is an intensively revised and updated version of the
book MATLAB(R) and Design Recipes for Earth Sciences. It aims to
introduce students to the typical course followed by a data analysis
project in earth sciences. A project usually involves searching relevant
literature, reviewing and ranking published books and journal articles,
extracting relevant information from the literature in the form of text,
data, or graphs, searching and processing the relevant original data
using MATLAB, and compiling and presenting the results as posters,
abstracts, and oral presentations using graphics design software. The
text of this book includes numerous examples on the use of internet
resources, on the visualization of data with MATLAB, and on preparing
scientific presentations. As with the book MATLAB Recipes for Earth
Sciences-4rd Edition (2015), which demonstrates the use of statistical
and numerical methods on earth science data, this book uses state-of-the
art software packages, including MATLAB and the Adobe Creative Suite, to
process and present geoscientific information collected during the
course of an earth science project. The book's supplementary electronic
material (available online through the publisher's website) includes
color versions of all figures, recipes with all the MATLAB commands
featured in the book, the example data, exported MATLAB graphics, and
screenshots of the most important steps involved in processing the
graphics.
