Description: GEOLOGIC INTERPRETATION OF REFLECTION PROFILES ***** Practical application of the reflection seismic method used in the tectonic analysis of deformed belts and sedimentary basins. Includes case studies from around the world, with emphasis on the integration of seismic reflection data with other surface and subsurface geological/geophysical information. Basics of seismic processing are introduced only in the framework of interpretation problems. Modern hydrocarbon exploration concepts based on the structural/stratigraphic interpretation of 2D and 3D seismic reflection data are also discussed.
