Multi-component wavefield separation with application to land seismic data

Abstract

The general goal of this project was to investigate the extent to which elastic wave propagation theory can be used to extract information about the properties of the shallow sub-surface. The seismic image will be of assistance for engineering and environmental purposes as well as for the seismic exploration industry. Sampling the elastic wavefield at different locations in The Netherlands using proper equipment and suitable acquisition geometries, developing processing as well as analysis tools and applying them to the data and evaluating the results were the steps which were taken during this project towards the above mentioned goal.
