* Introduction to Geophysical Prospecting (1976): This is considered a classic textbook in the field, widely used in university courses and by practicing geophysicists. It covers various aspects of geophysical exploration, including seismic methods, gravity and magnetic methods, and electrical and electromagnetic methods.
* Geophysical Exploration (1988): Another significant contribution to the field, this book focuses on the practical aspects of seismic exploration. It delves into data acquisition, processing, interpretation, and applications in oil and gas exploration.
* Seismic Data Processing and Interpretation (1989): This book provides a comprehensive guide to the advanced techniques used in seismic data processing and interpretation. It covers topics such as migration, velocity analysis, and seismic attribute analysis.
* Exploring for Oil and Gas: A Geologist's Perspective (2001): This book offers insights into the role of geology in hydrocarbon exploration. It explains how geological knowledge is used to identify potential reservoir rocks and to understand the processes that lead to hydrocarbon accumulation.
In addition to these books, Dobrin has also published numerous research papers and articles in geophysical journals. His contributions have significantly advanced the field of seismic exploration and have made him a highly respected figure in the geophysics community.
