Data Processing: Geophysical Time Series - GEO 384R and 365N
Spring 2008
General references on time series analysis and data processing are listed below. These books each cover portions of the course, though in greater depth, andoften with more mathematical detail.
The Fourier Transform and Its Applications (Ron Bracewell) McGraw Hill - an excellent overview with many applications - a real classic
An Introduction to Digital Signal Processing (John Karl) Academic Press - most similar to the content of this course, though lacking up to date power spectrum estimation methods,
Data Analysis in the Earth Sciences Using Matlab (Gerard Middleton) Prentice-Hall - covers time series and least squares topics, and many others.
Geophysical Signal Analysis (Enders Robinson; Sven Treitel) Prentice-Hall - heavy on the digital signal methods and applications to reflection seismology
The Analysis of Time Series (Chris Chatfield) Chapman and Hall - time series modeling emphasis
Discrete-Time Signal Processing (Oppenheim, Schafer, and Buck) Prentice-Hall - heavy duty for electrical engineers
Geophysical Data Analysis: Discrete Inverse Theory (William Menke) Academic Press - focus on the linear algebra of under and over determined systems and interpretations.
Time Series Analysis and Inverse Theory for Geophysicists (David Gubbins) Cambridge University Press.
Essential MATLAB for engineers and scientists (3rd ed.,Elsevier, 2007) by Hahn is available as an ebook that can be read on the internet, via the UT license.
