Correlation techniques – a review

Correlation techniques are in the process of passing from the research laboratory to the field. This paper seeks to aid the transition. The three main sections of the paper have these objects: The treatment is graphical and illustrative, rather than rigorous. The paper is addressed to the practising exploration geoscientist and to the newcomer to correlation techniques. A list of about 150 references is given.
