Integration of well logging, seismic reflection data, and surface geologic maps. Field and laboratory exercises. Review of digital linear system theory. Digital representation of geophysical data. Emphasis is on proceessing of seismic reflection data, potential fieldmaps, and earthquake seismograms.
Computer laboratory exercises.
Examination of important mathematical methods in geophysics. Topics depend on the interests of the students and instructor. Emphasis is on problem solving and the development of useful skills in applied mathematics. Role of integrated geological and geophysical methods in the design and implementation of natural resource exploration and development projects. Emphasis depends on class interests, but typical examples will be drawn from petroleum, mineral, and groundwater industries.
