Acoustic and elastic least-squares two-way wave equation migration with exact adjoint operator
DownloadSpring 2017
A major problem in exploration seismology entails estimating subsurface structures and properties via linearized inversion. The problem is often called ''least-squares migration" where seismic imaging is posed as an iterative least-squares problem. The iterative solution employs the method of...

An Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopic Diagnostic Device for Characterization of Liquid-Liquid Systems and Phase Separation Detection in Emulsions
DownloadFall 2013
Rapid characterization of complex fluids, especially sensing emulsion stability, is crucial for many industrial applications, ranging from pharmaceutical industry to petroleum production. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a powerful tool for electrical characterization of such...

In any geological sequestration projects, monitoring and verification are essential components in ensuring storage integrity. Seismic methods are regarded as a feasible way to monitor the subsurface CO2 because of their sensitivity to a rock’s pore space content. Therefore understanding the...

The Kennetcook-Windsor basin is a part of the large composite Maritimes Basin in Atlantic Canada. Subsurface seismic data indicate a very complex basinal history in terms of syn-depositional deformation and superimposition of numerous episodes of fault reactivation in the basin. Faults mapped...

Seismic velocity dispersion in crystalline rock is investigated through experimental measurements on two natural quartzite specimens. The quartzites are thermally damaged to induce low aspect ratio cracks and the shear and Young’s moduli are measured across a range of effective pressures, from...

We study penalized fitting strategies aimed at sparse model selection of models satisfying certain hierarchical restrictions, in linear models arising from factorial experiments. After discussing various merits of existing approaches, we propose a modification and generalization of the approach...

Gradient projection methods with applications to simultaneous source seismic data processing
DownloadFall 2017
Simultaneous source acquisition, or blended acquisition, has become an important strategy to reduce the cost of seismic surveys by allowing overlapping between different sources. The major technical challenge associated with this acquisition design is the strong interferences caused by the...

Conventional seismic migration operators produce an image that suffers from low resolution, sampling artifacts, and poorly balanced amplitudes. An improved image can be obtained by casting migration as a least-squares optimization problem in which the goal is to minimize the difference between...

Exploration seismology utilizes the seismic wavefield for prospecting oil and gas. The seismic reflection experiment consists on deploying sources and receivers in the surface of an area of interest. When the sources are activated, the receivers measure the wavefield that is reflected from...

Logistic and economic constraints often dictate the spatial sampling of a seismic survey. The process of acquisition records a finite number of spatial samples of the continuous wave field. The latter leads to a regular or irregular distribution of seismograms. Seismic reconstruction methods are...
