The seismic reflection image - stacking and velocities

Part of The Shear Zone channel. This video looks at how seismic images are made, displaying in two-way-time, enhancing signal to noise by stacking, and the impact of variations in seismic velocity on the image and its relationship to real subsurface geological structure. Most of the images are from the Virtual Seismic Atlas.

Really good treatment of this topic. I'm going to share this video with my Geophysics class right now! Thanks for sharing this.

Excellent discussion. I was a seismic data processor from 1973 to 2007. Experienced in dynamite, vibroseis, and airgun. I worked in various processing centers in the US, Australia, and Great Britain. I also worked quality control on both land and offshore seismic crews at various times. Your discussion is very good to inform the general public as to "what in the hell is all that noise and what are all of those wiggles?". Please keep it up!

Great video. I worked on land seismic crews in the seventies (surveying). I saw a lot of unprocessed sections in the field but only vaguely understood what I was looking at. Of course a lot this was done by hand back then and the technology has increased exponentially. (Incidentally I worked on what I was told was the first ever 3D seismic project ever. It was near Ardmore OK circa 1975. )

you saved my life!
I was struggling so hard to understand how to read a seismogram!
Thank you for your content

Im a beginner at this topic, but can you suggest me softwares that are actually useful and demanded regarding this geophysical interpretation abd processing! Thank you
