Quantative Geophysics
Computation and Inverse Theory

UTIG's very active sea-going program generates large volumes of two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) seismic reflection data and offset 3-D ocean-bottom seismograph (OBS) data, which together provide the best available information about significant structures beneath the seafloor. In addition, UTIG scientists collect high-resolution near-offset 3-D data for mapping very shallow subsurface structures. While conventional data processing is carried out using commercial software, UTIG's quantitative geophysics group develops unique algorithms and innovative processing techniques for use by UTIG researchers and other marine geologists and geophysicists in academia and industry.
