DESCRIPTION:
Alejandro Cabrales said Five Stars. One classic, for all of us working on processing and interpretation of seismic images of the subsurface.. "A true classic" according to Jorge. Book is out of print but freely available in Postscript in Prof. Claerbout's website. Very pleased to have found a used print in very good condition.
"Imaging the Earth's Interior" describes the image-making process. The book strikes a balance between current industry practice and unrealized research goals.. Professor Claerbout was the first to use the wave equation of physics directly in the image-making process, and his finite difference implementation quickly became an industry standard. The echoes are computer processed into images that reveal much about the earth's geological history. It will also be useful to data recording engineers and to geologists who need to understand the opportunities and limitations of image creation and enhancement processes. His graduate research group at Stanford University has been at the forefront of subsequent developments, many of which are described in this book. Prospecting for oil begins with seismic soundings. It is intended for students entering earth sciences from other areas, earth science professionals, and professionals in other fields in which waves and images are studied
