Course ID: D8601T26
Credits: 3
Course Prerequisites: None
Course Description and Goals:
This course provides the basic knowledge of seismic data processing and application of the ProMAX package. Geometrical and physical interpretation of the processing techniques as well as the mathematical derivation will be emphasized. With the aid of the Linux workstations, ProMAX, the synthetic and the field data, we shall explore the processing techniques in great practice throughout the whole course.
Schedule Type:
1. Interactive - Immediate questioning and answering in the class
2. Application Oriented - Emphasize at geoscientific applications
3. Practical and Student Oriented - Students demonstrate most of computer exercises under teacher’s guidance
Course Schedule (subject to change):
