Geophysics

Our understanding of the subsurface system of the earth is becoming increasingly more sophisticated both at the level of the behaviour of its components (solid, liquid and gas) as well as their variations in space and time.

Seismic imaging is a key component of subsurface exploration, and it depends on a high-quality seismic data acquisition system with effective seismic processing algorithms.
