Recent advances in parameter estimation and seismic processing have allowed
incorporation of anisotropic models into a wide range of seismic methods. In particular …

Over the last 15 years, it has become established that crack-induced stress-aligned shear
wave splitting, with azimuthal anisotropy, is an inherent characteristic of almost all rocks in …

This is the third edition of Seismic signatures and analysis of reflection data in anisotropic
media, with the first two published by Elsevier in 2001 and 2005. I am delighted that the …

Introduction to Petroleum Seismology, second edition, provides the theoretical and practical
foundation for tackling present and future challenges of petroleum seismology, especially …

The first edition of this book was a slightly modified version of my dissertation (defended in
February 2001). This second edition has been extended considerably. Many technological …

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 …

Converted seismic waves (specifically, downgoing P-waves that convert on reflection to
upcoming S-waves are increasingly being used to explore for subsurface targets. Rapid …

The subject of seismic anisotropy has a long history, but only recently has it come to be seen
as a central feature of geophysics, as applied to the exploration for hydrocarbons and to …

A microseismic (MS) monitoring system in a mine can monitor the MS signals generated by
coal rock rupture and blasting waves and can distinguish the two types of waves more …

Multicomponent seismic recording (measurement with vertical-and horizontal-component
geophones and possibly a hydrophone or microphone) captures the seismic wavefield more …
