    • Elastodynamic Redatumming for VSP Salt Dome Flank Imaging 

      Lu, Rongrong; Willis, Mark E.; Campman, Xander; Toksoz, M. Nafi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2007)
      In this paper we construct an application methodology for the theoretical elastodynamic redatumming work by Wapenaar (2006) to be able to approximate its use in the problem of imaging a salt dome flank using a walk away ...
    • Redatumming Through a Salt Canopy – Another Salt Flank Imaging Strategy 

      Lu, Rongrong; Willis, Mark E.; Campman, Xander; Ajo-Franklin, Jonathan B.; Toksoz, M. Nafi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2007)
      We describe a new short cut strategy to image the sediments and salt edge around a salt flank through an overburden salt canopy. We demonstrate its performance and capabilities on a synthetic acoustic seismic data from ...
    • Nonlinear Soil Response in the Near-Field of a Vibrator Truck: Application to Land Seismic Surveys 

      Pearce, Fred; Willis, Mark E.; Burns, Daniel R.; Toksoz, M. Nafi; Johnson, Paul (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2007)
      The nonlinear behavior of soils can significantly modify the wavelet radiated from vibrator trucks. In this paper, we describe a field experiment designed to measure the nonlinear response of a natural soil formation in ...
