A technique for visualizing Earth's subsurface at high resolution

Hidden out of sight in Earth's subsurface are a range of geophysical structures, processes, and material movements. Muography is a passive and non-destructive remote sensing technique that visualizes the internal structure of solid geological structures at high resolution, similar in process to X-ray radiography of human bodies.

Muography: Exploring Earth's Subsurface with Elementary Particles explores the application of this imaging technique in the geosciences and how it can complement conventional geophysical observations.

Volume highlights include:

  • Principles of muography and pioneering works in the field
  • Different approaches for muographic image processing
  • Observing volcanic structures and activity with muography
  • Using muography for geophysical exploration and mining engineering
  • Potential environmental applications of muography
  • Latest technological developments in muography
  • The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.
