seismic measurement techniques
Variety of seismic measurement and data-processing techniques. Seismic mapping in two or three dimensions.
Geophysicists study the physical characteristics of the earth and apply physical measurements to geological situations. Geophysicists use the principles of gravity, seismicity and electromagnetics to identify the structure and composition of the earth.
