The course "Seismic methods" describes geophysical methods based on the refraction and reflection of elastic waves propagating in the earth's crust, with an emphasis on petroleum targets. The fundamentals of theory, the data acquisition and processing are presented in detail, and various exercices, on paper or a computer, allow the concepts to be applied.
