This modern introduction to seismic data processing in both exploration and global geophysics demonstrates practical applications through real data and tutorial examples. The underlying physics and mathematics of the various seismic analysis methods are presented, giving students an appreciation of their limitations and potential for creating models of the sub-surface. Designed for a one-semester course, this textbook discusses key techniques within the context of the world's ever increasing need for petroleum and mineral resources - equipping upper undergraduate and graduate…
Supplemented by an online package of learning resources available at www.cambridge.org/zhou, including solutions to exercises for instructors, PowerPoints and JPEGs of all figures from the book, and additional tutorial and case study examples
Emphasises the utility of common seismic analysis methods using tutorial examples to expose students to the practical issues and method limitations
Presents methods common to both exploration and global geophysics, including seismic data processing, migration and model building
