Seismic source and wave propagation studies contribute to understanding structure,
transport, fracture mechanics, mass balance, and other processes within glaciers and …

As has been known for some time, velocities of elastic waves propagating in most
subsurface formations exhibit directional dependence, or seismic anisotropy. On their way to …

Motivated by the need to derive and characterize increasingly sophisticated seismic data
analysis and inversion methods incorporating wave dissipation, we consider the problem of …

The problem of frequency-dependent seismic inversion for estimating attenuation and
anisotropy based on rock physics effective model is reviewed and analyzed. Based on an …

Anelastic properties of reservoir rocks are important and sensitive indicators of fluid
saturation and viscosity changes due (for instance) to steam injection. The description of …

SUMMARY A complex slowness vector governs the 3-D propagation of harmonic plane
waves in a dissipative elastic medium with general anisotropy. In any sagittal plane, this …

Attempts have previously been made to predict anisotropic permeability in fractured
reservoirs from seismic Amplitude Versus Angle and Azimuth data on the basis of a …

The analysis of the parameters and configurations of natural or induced fractures is crucial
for guiding reservoir development. These fractures produce energetically scattered waves …

The identification and characterization of fractures is an important objective in many areas of
earth and environmental sciences. Amplitude variation with offset and azimuth (AVOAz) …

We analyse the scattering of seismic waves from anisotropic-viscoelastic inclusions using
the Born approximation. We consider the specific case of Vertical Transverse Isotropic (VTI) …
