seismic data processing

Seismic data processing involves analyzing signals generated by seismic surveys to map underground structures. When energy waves (like sound) are sent into the Earth, they bounce back differently depending on what’s below the surface. The raw data collected is noisy and complex, so processing techniques filter out unwanted signals and enhance the useful information. This allows geophysicists to create detailed images of underground formations, such as oil reservoirs or faults, helping in resource exploration and assessing geohazards. Essentially, it turns raw seismic signals into clear, interpretable images of what lies beneath our feet.
