X 射线计算机断层扫描、中子计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像通过对地球和行星材料进行快速、无损、三维检查和分析,正在推动新的科学进步。这些方法所促成的发现涉及从环境地质学到石油地质学、从水文学到土壤科学、从古生物学到岩石学、从地球动力学到气象学等多个领域。它们影响了我们对碳氢化合物储层、污染物输送、气候变化、二氧化碳封存、生命演化、地壳隆起、地幔交代作用、行星分异等的理解。三维成像可能很快就会成为每个调查人员工具包的重要组成部分,特别是随着针对这些技术日益复杂的地质应用而优化的仪器和设施的出现,以及随着这些技术的使用范围的扩大。 (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
X-ray computed tomography, neutron computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are driving novel scientific advances by enabling rapid, non-destructive, three-dimensional examination and analysis of earth and planetary materials. Discoveries catalyzed by these approaches range across fields from environmental geology to petroleum geology, hydrology to soil science, paleontology to petrology, and geodynamics to meteoritics. They have impacted our understanding of hydrocarbon reservoirs, contaminant transport, climate change, CO2 sequestration, the evolution of life, crustal uplift,mantle metasomatism, planetary differentiation, and more. Three-dimensional imaging is likely soon to become an essential component of every investigator's toolkit, especially as instruments and facilities emerge that are optimized for increasingly sophisticated geological applications of these techniques, and as access to them expands.
