This courses briefly reviews fundamental concepts of elasticity and wave propagation, and how they apply to data acquisition, processing, imaging, inversion and interpretation of seismic data, both structural and quantitative. Uses of seismic data for rock property mapping and geological modeling are also discussed, as well as fundamental rock physics concepts and the use of seismic data to constrain natural fractures models. Other special applications of seismic data for specific problems such as pore pressure estimation, shallow hazards, and volumetric uncertainty are also presented.
