GEOL483.3: SEISMOLOGY


Theory of elasticity, energy source, refraction, reflection, and Vertical Seismic Profiling methods, instrumentation, and interpretation. Fundamentals of digital data processing are studied hands-on with the use of industry-standard processing system Vista. The emphasis is on exploration active-source seismics; however, passive-source monitoring, location and velocity tomography are also discussed. Practical exercises include modeling of wave propagation, solution of a cross-well tomographic and location problems, and studies of signals in reflection seismology .
