Elements of 3-D seismology
by Chris L. Liner, 2004, 608 pp. Second Edition (Table
of Contents)

Seismic Data Processing with Seismic Un*x 2007 Forel, D. Benz,
T. and Pennington, W. 2007, 16 capters, SEG, OK.
|
|
Goals:
|
Introduction to 2D and 3D seismic data
acquisition, processing and limitations of seismic interpretation in
the context of deep (0-10 km) and near-surface
(0-100m) seismology.
|
| Course work |
Weekly homework, a field-based seismic
processing project, one midterm and one final in-class exam.
Lectures will be dedicated to the
presentation of concepts covered by the course textbook and Labs will
be dedicated to exercises using academic and industrial seismic
processing software in the Subsurface Laboratory (E217). Lab
work will include processing of an original data set. All
homeworks and lab exercises, with the exception of the final project,
are due one week
after they are handed out, at the beginning of each class.

Recommended prior courses or experience |
Math I, II,
Physics-I, programming experience with a high-level language like
Excel,Matlab or Maple, etc. Web navigation |
|
Course Grades
|
Final letter grades are calculated using the
results of weekly lecture
homework and in-lab exercises (30%), a midterm exam (15%), a final lab project (55%). A (90-100%) , B
(80-89.5%), C (60-79.5%) D
(50-59.5%), F (less than 49.5%) Graduate students taking this
course will be held to a higher standard, commensurate with their
academic seniority. |
