Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the students should achieved the following learning outcomes:
* A familiarity of the procedures used to interpret seismic reflection data including both 2D and 3D as structural and stratigraphic geological cross-sections, and contour maps;
* A familiarity of knowledge and skills in completing the above tasks in both paper forms and computer work stations.
* A familiarity of the techniques used for time-to-depth conversion
* A understanding of the limitation and possible interpretation pitfalls of the seismic techniques
