Reviews

'This book is a masterpiece in scope and content. It explains the essential algorithms and computational aspects of data processing, covering the theory and methods of seismic imaging. A particularly outstanding feature is that it gives useful methods and tools to pursue research projects and analyses - representing the way that things should be taught in the computer age. For this reason, it should be adopted in the undergraduate curriculum and will be a wonderful resource for graduate students and researchers in applied geophysics. Practicing geoscientists will also welcome this book as it will make their daily tasks easier and more productive.' Enders Robinson, Columbia University, New York City 'The authors are to be commended for putting together this valuable resource which will instantly be highly useful to many geophysicists in the academic and industrial communities. The book is a pleasing and unusual mixture of rigorous geophysical signal processing theory and practical concepts, algorithms and code snippets. The MATLAB library functions and scripts that are provided or available for download will prove indispensable to all readers.' Peter Cary, Chief Geophysicist, TGS Canada


Author Information

Gary F. Margrave has extensive experience with seismic data in both the corporate and academic worlds. His career began with fifteen years at Chevron, before twenty years as a Professor of Geophysics at the University of Calgary, where he taught courses on which this book is based. He then spent two years as Senior Geophysical Advisor at Devon Energy. He is now retired but still pursuing a vigorous research program. Michael P. Lamoureux is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Calgary, with a research focus on functional analysis and its application to physics, signal processing, and imaging. He has a keen interest in developing advanced mathematical methods for use in real industrial settings.
