PGEG 312 Reflection Seismology

This course covers the fundamental wave theory that is the basis for the method, and the seismic data acquisition, processing, and display techniques in such a way that one can map the underground and describe its characteristics. The course has a significant theoretical component, and includes class exercises using seismic software and display systems on real-world seismic data. A major component of the course is to design, acquire data, and interpret a seismic reflection survey. The course requires fieldwork.
