Fall 2009
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...

The reflection seismic experiment results in a measurement(reflection seismic data) of the seismic wavefield. The linear Born approximation to the seismic wavefield leads to a forward modelling operator that we use to approximate reflection seismic data in terms of a scattering potential. We...

A nonlinear finite element model was developed to study the behaviour of unstiffened steel plate shear walls. The model was validated using the results from quasi-static and dynamic experimental programs. With the validated finite element model, the performance of 4-storey and 8-storey Type D...

Sparsity and Group Sparsity Constrained Inversion for Spectral Decomposition of Seismic Data
DownloadSpring 2012
Local time-frequency analysis, also known as spectral decomposition, allows for a more detailed interpretation of time-series by providing the evolution of the frequency spectrum through time and has proven to be a useful seismic attribute for exercises such as reservoir characterization. This...

Three-Dimensional Electromagnetic Imaging of Porphyry Copper Deposits with MT and ZTEM Data
DownloadFall 2015
This thesis investigates the use of the airborne Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) and ground-based magnetotelluric (MT) exploration techniques to image electrical resistivity contrasts associated with porphyry copper deposits. These techniques were individually used to construct...

Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by the degradation of mechanical competence and support of the skeleton, leading to fracture risk of the wrist, vertebrae, and hip. The disease is due to major decrease of mass and deterioration of micro-structure of bone tissues. In this study, bone...

Historically seismic data processing has relied on the acoustic approximation to process single component data under the simplifying assumption that the recorded wavefield consists mainly of compressional wave modes. With the advancement of multicomponent seismic technology there is an increased...

Wave Speed Measurements of Grosmont Formation Carbonates: Implications for Time-Lapse Seismic Monitoring
DownloadFall 2019
The Grosmont Formation is a Devonian-aged carbonate platform complex that is estimated to hold over 64.5 billion m3 (406 billion bbl) of bitumen in place, accounting for a significant portion of Canada’s total hydrocarbon reserves. Despite this, the Grosmont formation has largely been undeveloped...
