If field trips are required, a nominal fee will be assessed to cover field trip expenses. Topics include wave properties, 1D seismic concepts, 2D seismic acquisition, seismic economics, land and marine acquisition methods, overview of processing with emphasis on migration concepts. Topics include gain , deconvolution , statics, normal moveout, dip moveout, velocity analysis and migration. GPHY4513 Environmental Geophysics Application of geophysical methods to near surface problems. Topics include gravity, magnetics, electrical conductivity, and ground penetrating radar.
Emphasis is given to case histories and interpretation.
Seismic Stratigraphy Concepts of sequence stratigraphy and case histories of stratigraphic interpretation of reflection seismic data. 3D Seismic Interpretation Concepts and methods for the interpretation of 3D seismic data. The student is given all available information on a study area in NE Oklahoma, including 3D seismic data, processing report, well coordinates, and geological data from wells. The final report will include well depth and isopach maps, tracked time structure maps, and integrated depth maps. This is a course that can take on any topic of interest to the instructor and students.
