Seismic Exploration Methods

Course overview

Course overview of EAS : Seismic Exploration Methods

This course contains a comprehensive review of active-source reflection seismology and its applications. The course covers aspects of seismic data acquisition, basic data processing, and advanced (wave-equation) based imaging and inversion workflows. While the field of computational reflection seismology has mostly been directed towards the exploration & production of Oil & Gas, alternative applications of this technology will be explored that will help society navigate the energy transition. This includes the use of seismic methods to monitor and manage underground operations such as geothermal and carbon storage.
