Course overview
This course expands on students' background in seismic reflection geophysics, focusing on underlying theory and application of methods to problem solving.
Course learning outcomes
- Articulate both quantitatively and conceptually how seismic data are affected by contrasts in composition of rock and their interstitial fluids
- Understand simplifying assumptions applied in typical seismic processing, synthetics modelling and inversion workflows, and identify limits to their applicability
- Apply complex mathematical relationships as seismic data processing and anomaly detection tools
- Demonstrate mathematical and computer skills to manipulate, synthesise, interrogate, interpret and model seismic data
- Collaborate in groups to create, process, and analyse real-world seismic datasets
- Apply and communicate their ideas, methods, decisions and findings in solving real-world seismic data challenges
