Developing competences and expected learning outcomes

Educational goals: To provide basic knowledge about acquisition and processing of seismic reflection data, appropriate skills to support data interpretation, and methodologies for the development of geological models.

Learning outcomes: Integrated interpretation of seismic reflection data, constrained by the available well data, also based on software packages by academic licences.

Bibliography

Practical seismic interpretation 1985 Edition by Michael E. Bradley (Editor)

Prerequisites

Previous knowledge (from past courses or from the educational career) Geodynamics and sedimentary basins, Geophysical methods. Essential knowledge Principles of seismic surveying. Methodologies for the interpretation of seismic reflection data.

Frequency modes

Given the strong practical nature of the course, attendance is strongly recommended.

Exam modes

The student will have to comment and interpret a seismic line proposed by the professor, followed by some theoretical questions. The evaluation is based on the acquired knowledge of the theoretical concepts and on the ability to orient oneself in the interpretation of the proposed seismic line.
