Abstract

The specific nature of mining geophysics, models of media, and the details and the sequence of the interpretation process, including petrophysical studies, have been amply covered in the books (Ismailzadeh et al., 1983a, b; Khesin et al. 1983, 1996; Gadjiev et al., 1984; Karayev and Rabinovich, 2000; Eppelbaum and Khesin 2012) and numerous articles.
