Seismic emission tomography emerged from the technical section of the Nuclear Test Ban treaty in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is geared specifically toward identifying “point” sources ...

This is the second of two parts on the use of seismic emission tomography (SET) to directly map reservoir permeability fields. Subscribe. Magazine. Past Issues. Surveys. Industry Statistics.

This process, called seismic tomography, works in a manner similar to imaging techniques employed in medicine, where 2-D x-ray images taken from many perspectives are combined to create 3-D images ...

Over the past eight years, Tromp has been at the forefront of research on how to improve seismic tomography to obtain high-definition, accurate images of the Earth's interior. Past approaches for ...

Tomography is the newest addition to the Paradigm GeoDepth software suite, delivering enhanced seismic imaging quality, reduced interpretation uncertainty, and increased productivity.

A seismic mapping milestone Team produces 3-D map of Earth's interior Date: March 28, 2017 Source: DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Summary: Using advanced modeling and simulation, seismic data ...

Since the 1970s, geologists have used seismic tomography to piece together what Earth's interior looks like. When an earthquake erupts, the seismic waves it generates travel through Earth's interior.

The driving force behind this volcanic activity is believed to be the “Iceland Plume”—a deep, hot column of molten rock that ...

Seismic SAFARI. Geodynamic models suggest that below mature rifts, a region called the asthenosphere is upwelling. The asthenosphere is the hotter, weaker, upper part of the mantle that lies below ...
