Author: Andy Goodliffe, U. of Alabama (amg "at" ua.edu) Objectives: Students will be able to: Describe the hardware used for the acquisition of marine seismic reflection survey Describe the geometry of a marine seismic reflection survey Load data and conduct basic data processing using ProMax (e.g CMP gather, filtering, stacking, migration) Related Animations Reflection Seismology: Seeing below the ground Man-made sound waves produced by airguns travel through the earth, reflect off different rock layers, then are recorded by geophones being towed behind the boat. Animation Novice Related Lessons Simple Broadband Data Processing in Matlab This tutorial provides student with basic tools and procedures generally used to explore broadband seismic data in Matlab. Lesson Advanced Related Courses Geology and Geophysics in the Petroleum Industry This course, based on teaching material from Dr. Fred Schroeder (formerly of Exxon/ExxonMobil), reflects on the geology and geophysics basics for the petroleum industry. General geology and basic geophysics are not required, but helpful with the material. Course Advanced
