GEOPHYS 760: Seismic Data Analysis for Basin Exploration

Project-based course in which the students analyse surface seismic data to develop a geologic model with professional software. Students perform a step-by-step seismic processing flow, followed by a 3D seismic volume interpretation to develop a conceptual basin model. Two laboratory hours per week are scheduled contact hours, but students will conduct the bulk of the project at their own pace.

This course is taught in: First Semester, City Campus (S1 C)

Format: one 2-hour class each week
Points: 15
Assessment: 100% coursework
Prerequisites: EARTHSCI 361 or GEOLOGY 361 or GEOPHYS 361 or equivalent
Programme: this is one of the core options for the Earth Sciences and Geophysics programmes
Course coordinator: Ludmila Adam

GEOPHYS 761: Subsurface Imaging with Seismic and Radar Waves

The theory and practice behind imaging the subsurface using seismic and ground-penetrating radar waves. The course consists of four modules focusing on the rock physics background of geophysical techniques, aspects of geophysical studies of reservoirs, optimisation of seismic data evaluation using inversion methods, and ground-penetrating radar surveys.

This course is taught in: Second Semester, City Campus (S2 C)

Format: two 2-hour classes each week
