It is with pleasure that I write the foreword to this excellent
book. A wide range of observations in geology and solid-earth
geophysics can be - plained in terms of fractal distributions. In
this volume a collection of - pers considers the fractal behavior
of the Earth's continental crust. The book begins with an excellent
introductory chapter by the editor Dr. V.P. Dimri. Surface gravity
anomalies are known to exhibit power-law spectral behavior under a
wide range of conditions and scales. This is self-affine fractal
behavior. Explanations of this behavior remain controversial. In
chapter 2 V.P. Dimri and R.P. Srivastava model this behavior using
Voronoi tessellations. Another approach to understanding the
structure of the continental crust is to use electromagnetic
induction experiments. Again the results often exhibit power law
spectral behavior. In chapter 3 K. Bahr uses a fractal based random
resister network model to explain the observations. Other examples
of power-law spectral observations come from a wide range of well
logs using various logging tools. In chapter 4 M. Fedi, D. Fiore,
and M. La Manna utilize multifractal models to explain the behavior
of well logs from the main KTB borehole in Germany. In chapter 5
V.V. Surkov and H. Tanaka model the electrokinetic currents that
may be as- ciated with seismic electric signals using a fractal
porous media. In chapter 6 M. Pervukhina, Y. Kuwahara, and H. Ito
use fractal n- works to correlate the elastic and electrical
properties of porous media.
