MATLAB Recipes for Earth Sciences, 5th edition

MATLAB Recipes for Earth Sciences introduces readers to data analysis methods based on MATLAB that are used in the geosciences, including basic statistics for univariate, bivariate and multivariate datasets, time-series analysis, signal processing, the analysis of spatial and directional data, and image analysis.

The revised and updated Fifth Edition includes seven new sections, and the majority of the chapters have been rewritten and significantly expanded. New sections include error analysis, the problem of classical linear regression of log-transformed data, aligning stratigraphic sequences, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Aitchison’s log-ratio transformation, graphical representation of spherical data, and statistics of spherical data. The book also includes numerous examples demonstrating how MATLAB can be used on datasets from the earth sciences.

The supplementary material includes recipes with the MATLAB commands featured in the book. MATLAB, Image Processing Toolbox, Mapping Toolbox, Signal Processing Toolbox, Statistics Toolbox, Wavelet Toolbox, and Simulink 3D Animation are required to run the files. This edition also features floating-point numbers, string and table arrays, the datastore family of functions, publishing and sharing code using MATLAB Live Editor, and creating graphical user interfaces using App Designer.
