Virtual palaeontology, the use of interactive three-dimensional
digital models as a supplement or alternative to physical specimens
for scientific study and communication, is rapidly becoming
important to advanced students and researchers. Using non-invasive
techniques, the method allows the capture of large quantities of
useful data without damaging the fossils being studied
Techniques for Virtual Palaeontology guides
palaeontologists through the decisions involved in designing a
virtual palaeontology workflow and gives a comprehensive overview,
providing discussions of underlying theory, applications,
historical development, details of practical methodologies, and
case studies. Techniques covered include physical-optical
tomography (serial sectioning), focused ion beam tomography, all
forms of X-ray CT, neutron tomography, magnetic resonance imaging,
optical tomography, laser scanning, and photogrammetry.
Visualization techniques and data/file formats are also discussed
in detail.
Readership: All palaeontologists and students
interested in three-dimensional visualization and analysis.
New Analytical Methods in Earth and Environmental
Science
Because of the plethora of analytical techniques now available,
and the acceleration of technological advance, many earth
scientists find it difficult to know where to turn for reliable
information on the latest tools at their disposal, and may lack the
expertise to assess the relative strengths or limitations of a
particular technique. This new series will address these
difficulties by providing accessible introductions to important new
techniques, lab and field protocols, suggestions for data handling
and interpretation, and useful case studies. The series represents
an invaluable and trusted source of information for researchers,
advanced students and applied earth scientists wishing to
familiarise themselves with emerging techniques in their field.
All titles in this series are available in a variety of
full-colour, searchable eBook formats. Titles are also
available in an enhanced eBook edition which may include additional
features such as DOI linking, high resolution graphics and
video.
