Geophysics is the application of the methods and techniques of physics in the study of the Earth. It differs from Geology in that a geologist studies rocks and structures, which can be seen, while a ...

A Spanish research team, using 3-D reflection seismology, has for the first time mapped the geomorphological features of the Ebro river basin 5 to 6 million years ago. The images obtained show that ...

(Image: Ilmo Kukkonen) The FIRE material (Finnish Reflection Experiment) is already world-famous, but now it will be more easily accessible. The data gathered in 2001-2003 is unique in its scope, says ...

This course is designed for those working with reflection seismic data to understand and appreciate the underlying principles and processes leading to final images and associated attributes. Basic ...

Three-dimensional seismic-reflection imaging is not new. The petroleum industry has been utilizing this tool to characterize the complex geometries of the subsurface for nearly two decades. Science ...

Seismic reflection profiling is used for making 2-D or 3-D cross-sections of underground structures. The principle behind reflection seismics is the same as with underwater echo-ranging. A typical ...

The course is designed to enable you to perform professional geophysical work to evaluate fractured reservoirs and/or reservoirs that require hydro-frac'ing to produce. The emphasis of the lectures is ...

South Africa has some of the world’s deepest mines and richest mineral resources. However, mining at these depths presents risks and hazards that can affect the lives of mine workers and the stability ...
