assessing seismic hazards involves specifying the likelihood, magnitude and location of earthquakes in a region. predicting the seismic hazards is the first step in reducing the impact of the damage caused by an earthquake.  in this study, to fully utilize all the known parameters which may possibly affect the occurrence of earthquakes (mb ≥ 4.5); a data-driven rule-extraction method called the...

Subsurface modeling from seismic and borehole data is important for reservoir prediction, geophysical exploration and production. A reasonable model should honor borehole rock properties and conform to seismic structural and stratigraphic features. Such a subsurface model can be di cult to create in cases complicated by faults and unconformities. Automatic and semi-automatic methods have been p...

Exxon Neftegas Limited, as operator of the Sakhalin-1 consortium, is developing oil and gas reserves on the continental shelf off northeast Sakhalin Island, Russia. DalMorNefteGeofizika (DMNG) on behalf of the Sakhalin-1 consortium conducted a 3-D seismic survey of the Odoptu license area during 17 August-9 September 2001. A portion of the primary feeding area of the endangered western gray wha...

Subsurface modeling from seismic and borehole data is important for reservoir prediction, geophysical exploration, and production. A reasonable model should honor borehole rock properties and conform to seismic structural and stratigraphic features. Such a subsurface model can be difficult to build in cases complicated by faults and unconformities. Automatic and semiautomatic methods have been ...

The ability to perceive biologically important sounds is critical to marine mammals, and acoustic disturbance through human-generated noise can interfere with their natural functions. Sounds from seismic surveys are intense and have peak frequency bands overlapping those used by baleen whales, but evidence of interference with baleen whale acoustic communication is sparse. Here we investigated ...

Abstract This paper presents a Multidisciplinary geophysical study of the geothermal areas in Uzbekistan. Based on developed new map, data anomalous were analyzed. Muruntau area, comprehensive methodology has been for detailing anomalies. New integrated surveys (gravity survey, seismic magnetotelluric survey) and their interpretation at stage exploration are presented.

Evansville, Indiana, is one of the closest large urban areas to both the New Madrid Seismic Zone, where large earthquakes occurred in 1811–1812, and the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone, where there is evidence of several large prehistoric earthquakes in the last 14,000 yr. For this reason, Evansville has been targeted as a priority region for urban seismic-hazard assessment. The probabilistic seismi...

We present multi attribute texture transfer functions for the generation of seismic illustrations. We render seismic data in the style of geological textbook illustrations by combining illustratively rendered axis aligned slices with volume rendering. We have extended the transfer function concept to map volume attributes to 2D textures that flow according to a deformation volume describing the...

This study developed a national seismic hazard map around Taiwan through a deterministic manner. The essential of this approach is to treat every historic event as a potential point source, then with the seismic hazard taken as the maximum ground motion resulted from the series of earthquake events. A program developed in-house was used to carry out mass computation and map-making. The results ...

Structural similarity evaluation is a critical step for retrieving existing databases to find matching records for a given seismic data set. The objective is to enable the re-use of historical findings to assist exploration with new survey data. Currently there are very few structural similarity metrics specifically designed for seismic data, especially seismic survey maps. In this paper, we pr...
