- Author: Martin H. Trauth

The book MATLAB Recipes for Earth Sciences is designed to help under graduates, and PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, and professionals find quick solutions for common problems in data analysis in earth sciences. It provides a minimum amount of theoretical background, and demonstrates the application of all described methods through the use of examples. The MATLAB soft ware is used since it not only provides numerous ready-to-use algorithms for most methods of data analysis but also allows the existing routines to be modified and expanded, or new soft ware to be developed.
The book contains MATLAB scripts, or M-files, to solve typical problems in earth sciences, such as simple statistics, time-series analysis, geostatistics, and image processing, and also demonstrates the application of selected advanced techniques of data analysis such as nonlinear time series analysis, adaptive fi ltering, bootstrapping, and terrain analysis. It comes with a compact disk that contains all MATLAB recipes and example data fi les as well as presentation fi les for instructors. Th e MATLAB codes can be easily modifi ed for application to the reader’s data and projects.
This revised and updated Third Edition includes new sections on software-related issues (Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.8 and 2.9). Chapter 2 was difficult to update since MATLAB has expanded so much over the years, and I have deliberately tried to restrict this chapter to demonstrating of those tools actually used in the book. A second diffi culty arose from the current move by The MathWorks Inc. to use and incorporate objects and classes in some areas of their MATLAB routines, although there does not seem to be any intention of abandoning the existing procedural code. Again, I have restricted the introduction and use of objects and classes to the absolute minimum, even at the expense of omitting one of the new features of MATLAB.
