Riassunto

In the past 40 years geophysicists have discovered that they can construct images and even determine important physical characteristics of rocks that can yield information about oil and gas bearing structures in the earth. Doing this requires the application of advanced understanding of the mathematical physics of wave propagation. This collection of the necessary seismic data processing methods has been dubbed seismic "migration". This text ist the first to treat the many kinds of "migration" in a unified mathematical way. It serves as a bridge between the applied math and geophysics communities.

Recensione

From the reviews:

PURE APPLIED GEOPHYSICS

"The presentation is exceptionally good, with a systematic progression from simpler to more sophisticated problems. This is very helpful to those readers not familiar with the subject...Every seismological term and every necessary mathematical concept is explained so that the book is actually self-contained...The mathematics are...kept are at a sufficiently low level of mathematical sophistication to make the book easy for its intended readership...Another advantage of the book is a careful choice of the variables...Exercises stimulate the reader’s initiative and inquisitiveness. This is rather unusual in geophysical literature...Even for seasoned seismologists the book will provide an incentive to upgrade their know-how."
