We present a real-time procedure that uses cross-correlation and doubledifference methods to rapidly relocate new seismic events with high precision relative to past events with accurately known locations. Waveforms of new events are automatically cross correlated with those archived for nearby past events to measure accurate differential phase arrival times. These data, together with delay tim...

the purpose of velocity analysis is to extract the normal moveout velocity as a function of the zero-offset travel time at selected cdp locations along the seismic line. since results of velocity analysis depend on coherency estimator, an estimator that provides a high velocity resolution is essential. even though the conventional semblance method which is the most popular coherency estimator (...

In this talk I will introduce marine seismic acquisition technologies and focus on solutions to maximize the bandwidth of the measured data. This involves detecting and removing the components of the wavefields that are reflected at the sea surface and that propagate downward: these downgoing reflections, called “ghosts” in literature, interfere with the upgoing wavefield, that is generated by ...

Concerns about potential liquefaction and resulting flowslide type failures at Wickiup Dam in Central Oregon prompted geophysical studies of the left wing dike, studies which included a high resolution seismic reflection survey. High resolution seismic reflection data effectively delineated structures and correlated lithologies to shallow borehole data above the surface of the dipping, basalt b...

In this abstract, we propose a multiscale fusion technique to enhance seismic geometric attributes, such as dip and curvature, which are very sensitive to noise present in seismic data. For a give seismic section, first, we construct a Gaussian pyramid that allows us to generate the seismic attribute at different resolutions (scales). Then, all attributes at the different scales are fused toget...

The presence of gas hydrate and associated gas in the Makran Accretionary Prism, offshore Iran, has been confirmed by various seismic indicators, including the bottom-simulating reflector (BSR), amplitude blanking, and bright spot. The pre-stack analysis and the study of amplitude-variation-with-offset (AVO) attributes are the most reliable tools for semi-quantitative study of gas hydrate and f...

Seismic imaging has many applications in civil engineering, risk hazard, waste storage monitoring, oil exploration and tectonophysics. Among the different seismic imaging methods the full waveform inversion aims to exploit the full information content of seismic data through the complete resolution of the partial differential wave equation. Once the wave equation has been solved for each seismi...

In many areas of science and engineering, we have different sources of data. For example, in geophysics, there are many sources of data for Earth models: first-arrival passive seismic data (from the actual earthquakes), first-arrival controlled-source seismic data (from the seismic experiments), gravity data, etc. Datasets coming from different sources can provide complimentary information. In ...
