Seismic Wavefield

Seismic wavefield analysis focuses on understanding and manipulating the propagation of seismic waves through the Earth, primarily to image subsurface structures and identify resources like hydrocarbons or monitor geological processes such as carbon storage. Current research emphasizes the application of machine learning, particularly deep neural networks (including convolutional neural networks, physics-informed neural networks, and Fourier neural operators), to improve data processing tasks such as denoising, deblending, interpolation, and inversion. These advancements aim to enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and robustness of seismic imaging and interpretation, leading to better subsurface models and improved decision-making in various geoscience applications.
