Seismic Exploration and Laboratory

Knowledge and understanding: Learn the basic knowledge of reflection seismic for what concerns seismic data acquisition and processing up to building an image of the subsurface (stack section). Acquire the terminology pertinent to the Exploration Seismology.
Applying knowledge and understanding: The acquired knowledge are used to analyse the problems found in real land and marine seismic data and to propose suitable solutions for the processing and, possibly, for the acquisition.

Making judgements: The acquired knowledge allows to evaluate critically the results at the end of the seismic data processing. For each processing steps the student, autonomously, is able to estimate the correct parameters for obtaining the optimal results from the available seismic data.
Communication skills: The student is able to clearly communicate to third party the topics of Exploration Seismology and the issues inherent to the seismic data processing and acquisition; moreover is able to illustrate to the experts in the field the possible solutions that can be adopted to tackle these issues or problems.
Learning skills: Give the student the ability to learn autonomously topics that can not be dealt with during the lessons due to the limited time available, and also give him/her the ability to deepen the ones discussed.
