Multiple reflections in the water column often make the detection of deep seismic reflectors in oceanographic exploration very difficult. In this report we describe a novel method of modeling the unwanted feedback generating these multiples. This model formulates the removal of the multiples as a system-identification problem, and uses the maximum-likelihood method of statistics to derive an al...

Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. Over the past several years, advances in sensor technology has lead to increases in the demand for computerized methods for analyzing seismological signals. Central to the understanding...

A geothermal power plant projected in Unterhaching, south of Munich/Germany, will generate 3.36 MW of electrical power. Two boreholes (doublet) have developed the karstified Malm at a depth of approx. 3000 m. Available seismic profiles were reprocessed with the aim of interpreting the facies and thus the degree of karstification within the Malm. The most prospective areas are, beside fault zone...

The Bedout High, located on the northwestern continental margin of Australia, has emerged as a prime candidate for an end-Permian impact structure. Seismic imaging, gravity data, and the identification of melt rocks and impact breccias from drill cores located on top of Bedout are consistent with the presence of a buried impact crater. The impact breccias contain nearly pure silica glass (SiO2)...

Introduction: The Silverpit impact structure was discovered during 2001 on three-dimensional (3D) seismic data obtained during routine hydrocarbon exploration in the southern North Sea [1]. It is now known that five commercially-acquired 3D seismic datasets partially cover the structure and approximately 80% of Silverpit is imaged by high-resolution 3D data (Figure 1). Two boreholes had been dr...

This paper is concerned with an improved network model in acoustical application to petroleum logging and seismic exploration. Utilizing acoustic-electric analogue, we report in this paper a newly developed acoustic-logging network model. Important relationships amongst various physical factors are established, i.e. driving-voltage signal, electric-acoustic conversion of source-transducer, acou...

The seismic performance of elliptic braced moment resisting frame (ELBRF) is assessed here and is found that the structural behavior is improved and is of free of architectural space. The demand for seismic performance of ELBRF is estimated through conventional pushover methods of 3, 5, 7, and 10-story ELBRF frames and they are compared with special moment resisting frames (SMRF) and X-Braced C...

Recorded ground motions in near fault region have completely distinct nature from others that recorded in far field of the fault. Near source outcomes cause much of the seismic energy to appear in a single large and long period pulse at the beginning of the velocity record. Assaluyeh complex is located near the reverse Assaluyeh fault that is a segment of Mountain Front Fault. This complex cont...
