Statistical and Transform Methods in Geophysical Signal Processing

viii CONTENTS
Preface
This course will focus on the application on modern processing and inversion techniques
to geophysical signal processing. We will also discuss the design and utilization
of multi-dimensional linear transforms to suppress deterministic and stochastic noise
from seismic records. The course is intended for upper level undergraduate and graduate
students in geosciences as well as for geophysicists interested in understanding
current technologies utilized in geophysical data processing.
