Integrated Imaging of the Earth. Theory and Applications

Reliable and detailed information about the Earth’s subsurface is of crucial importance throughout the geosciences. Quantitative integration of all available geophysical and geological data helps to make Earth models more robust and reliable. The aim of this book is to summarize and synthesize the growing literature on combining various types ofgeophysical and other geoscientific data. The approaches that have been developed to date encompass joint inversion, cooperative inversion, and statistical post-inversion analysis methods, each with different benefits and assumptions. Starting with the foundations of inverse theory, this book systematically describes the mathematical and theoretical aspects of how to best integrate different geophysical datasets with geological prior understanding and other complimentary data. This foundational basis is followed by chapters that demonstrate the diverse range of applications for which integrated methods have been used to date. These range from imaging the hydrogeological properties of the near-surface to natural resource exploration and probing the composition of the lithosphere and the deep Earth. Each chapter is written by leading experts in the field, which makes this book the definitive reference on integrated imaging of the Earth. Highlights of this volume include: Complete coverage of the theoretical foundations of integrated imaging approaches from inverse theory to different coupling methods and quantitative evaluation of the resulting models Comprehensive overview of current applications of integrated imaging including hydrological investigations, natural resource exploration, and imaging the deep Earth Detailed case studies of integrated approaches providing valuable guidance for both experienced users and researchers new to joint inversion. This volume will be a valuable resource for graduate students, academics, industry practitioners, and researchers who are interested in using or developing integrated imaging approaches.

Ustad Amir Khan (Hindi: अमीर ख़ान) was a well-known Indian classical vocalist. He is considered one of the most influential figures in Hindustani classical music, and is the founder of the Indore Gharana.

Life and career

Amir Khan was born in a family of musicians on August 15, 1912 in Indore, India. His mother passed away when he was nine years old.

Young Amir Ali was initially trained in the sarangi by his father Shahmir Khan, himself an expert sarangi player from the Bhendibazaar gharana. However, seeing his interest in vocal music, his father gradually devoted more time to vocal training, focusing on the Merukhand technique. Amir Ali was exposed at an early age to many different styles, since just about every musician who visited Indore would come to their house, and there would be mehfils at their place on a regular basis. His father died in 1937.

Amir Khan lived for some time in Delhi and Calcutta, but after the partition of India he moved to Bombay.

He developed his own singing style, incorporating the styles of Abdul Waheed Khan, Rajab Ali Khan and Aman Ali Khan. This unique style, known as the Indore Gharana, blends the spiritual flavor and grandeur of dhrupad with the ornate vividness of khayal. His performances had an understated elegance, reverence, restrained passion and an utter lack of showmanship that both moved and awed listeners. [ [http://www.itcsra.org/tribute.asp?tribute=6 Amir Khan - Tribute to a Maestro] ] He helped popularize taranas, as well as compositions in Fārsi. He often used the Jhoomra and Tilwada taals, and generally preferred a simple 'theka' from the tabla accompanist. As in the case of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Amir Khan's initial sarangi training was important in establishing him as a great singer, showing up in his intricate taans.

Besides singing in concerts, he also sang film songs in ragas, most notably for the films "Baiju Bawra", "Kshudhita Pashan", "Shabaab", and "Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje".

His disciples include Pandit Amarnath, A. Kanan, Srikant Bakre, Singh Brothers, Mukund Goswami, Gajendra Bakshi, Kankana Banerjee, and Poorabi Mukherjee. His style has also influenced many other singers and instrumentalists, including Rashid Khan, Mahendra Toke, Shanti Sharma, Gokulotsavji Maharaj, Nikhil Banerjee, and the Imdadkhani gharana.

He died a premature death in a car accident in Calcutta on February 13, 1974.
