The book MATLAB Recipes for Earth Sciences is designed to help under- graduate and PhD students, postdocs, and professionals to fi nd quick solu- tions for common problems in data analysis in earth sciences. The book provides a minimum amount of theoretical background, but then tries to teach the application of all methods by examples. The software MATLAB is used since it provides numerous ready-to-use algorithms for most meth- ods of data analysis, but also gives the opportunity to modify and expand the existing routines and even develop new software. The book contains MATLAB scripts to solve typical problems in earth sciences,.
