Seismic Methods

This course coversthe principles ofseismology, body and surface wave propagation, attenuation, resolution, elastic properties of rocks; equipment and procedures for acquisition and processing of reflection, refraction, surface wave and VSP data; procedures for interpretation of data so as to extract earth models, including velocity and depth information and sequence stratigraphy. The course will include case histories of seismic methods for resolving subsurface features. PREREQ: MATH 1036, 1037; PHYS 1006. Recommended MATH 2037. Or equivalents.
