b'Mark Lackies best of Exploration GeophysicsFeatureMark Lackies best of Exploration GeophysicsHP 41C Handheld Computer Algorithms that was published in Volume 16 in 1985.The paper by Emerson, Clark and Saul is 122 pages long, so I cannot say I have read all of it in great detail. The paper goes through various magnetic models and incorporates features such as remanence, demagnetisation and anisotropy. The models cover a wide range of types, including standard ones I could find in any given textbook and interesting ones such as the ellipsoid of revolution. The paper has lots of code for Mark Lackierunning the models with a HP 41C calculator (hmm those Exploration Geophysics Editor inChief (2009 - present)were the days), which I must admit I have never used. However, mark.lackie@mq.edu.au when I undertook my PhD this paper gave me the background theory and, importantly, the mathematics in a very organised When I got an email from Ted Tyne asking me to select my bestmanner such that I could understand and code up the paper from Exploration Geophysics I first noticed the part aboutresponses to simple models that include such strange beasts the 50 Year Anniversary and thought wow has Explorationas anisotropy and demagnetisation, which interest me greatly. Geophysics been going 50 years. Then the horror dawned on me,Recently I referred to the paper to code up a simple model using I had been alive for the whole of those 50 years, which couldexcel (my apologies to all the true coders with that statement) mean that I had glanced at all of the issues and that choosing afor a workshop organised by Mike Smith.best ofmight be difficult. So, as a true geophysicist, I went off to have a few reds to reflect on the problem. So, my best of paper for Exploration Geophysics is the paper that I most often refer to when I want to understand the I quite like review articles as they put all the knowledge aboutmagnetic response of a simple body that has complicating a subject in an easy to read article and actually aid me inmagnetic factors. The paper is clear and concise, and has the understanding a topic. Thus, review papers by Dave Clark oninformation I need laid out in a manner that is easy-to-follow aspects of remanence, and Ted Lilley on understanding MT(perfect for me!).spring to mind.
