Seismic Interpretation

Interpretation Overview Hardware Software

Overview Image of 3-Dimensional Cube created with seismic data

For interpreting and vizualizing seismic data, we have two main software packages, one PC based and one workstation based. For relatively smaller sized interpretation/vizualization projects, we use the PC based GeoGraphix by Landmark and for larger projects requiring huge amounts of data manipulation, we use the workstation based OpenWorks by Landmark.

Larson Software Technology (LST) is used to plot all of our workstation based seismic displays.

Welcome Kristen Lewis!

Dr. Kristen Lewis, has joined the seismic group as a geophysicist specializing in seismic data interpretation. Krissy, as she prefers to be called, officially joined our group on March 3 and comes to us from BP with more than 5 years experience in seismic data interpretation. Krissy received her BA with honors, cum laude, in physics from Ohio Wesleyan University and her Ph.D. in geophysics from Colorado School of Mines. Krissy's interest at CSM was in moment tensor inversion of shallow seismic data. Welcome to our group Krissy!
