Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is designed to give the students a basic idea of explorational seismology / seismic exploration. The students will learn about the underlying fundamentals of physics and the workflow from seismic data acquisition and data processing to a subsurface image. We will also address applications in our society, such as geothermal and mineral exploration, nuclear waste storage and more. The lecture will be supported by an exercise in which the students apply their new knowledge from the class to actual data.

Assessment and permitted materials

A laptop is necessary to follow the exercises.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

General understanding of various methods and techniques for exploration seismic data acquisition and processing. Students need at least 50% of the points from the report to pass the course.

Examination topics

The exam will be a short report about a seismic data set. You will apply the knowledge you gained in the lectures and the exercises.
