Overview
In reflection and refraction seismology, controlled sources are used to study the near-surface geology down to the base of the Earth's crust. Reflection and refraction seismology are often used in exploration for hydrocarbons and mineral resources, but also in environmental, groundwater and geothermal investigations as well as in carbon dioxide storage. Seismic waves generated by active sources travel in the subsurface and are recorded by the receivers. Through inversion (tomography) of refraction data and processing of reflection data, multi-dimensional models of seismic wave velocity and reflectivity are calculated, which are interpreted in a geological context. In this advanced course, you will learn about the theoretical background of the methods, about seismic data collection and about the standard tools of data processing. Practical exercises are an important part of the course.
