Learning Outcomes

  • demonstrate an advanced understanding of the whole field of seismic data processing as it is used in energy exploration.
  • demonstrate mastery of the techniques of seismic migration, tomography, descent inversion, optimization, and full-wave modeling within the framework of processing versus inversion solutions to seismic imaging challenges.
  • make a technological innovation by developing, testing, or applying a novel imaging algorithm, or processing a seismic data set in a novel way.
