Seismic waves (elasticity, wave equation, anisotropy, body and surface waves, propagation and interface effects, reflection coefficients), time-distance curves (NMO, DMO), seismic velocity (sedimentary rock model, velocity types, velocity determination), seismic signal and noise (primary reflections, direct, air, surface, and head waves, diffractions, multiples, random noise), seismic equipment (positioning, sources, receivers, recording), field procedures (spreads, arrays, CMP method, survey parameter selection), 3-D seismic exploration (terminology, swath shooting, marine 3-D).
