Seabed Seismic Techniques by Mundy Obilor Jim

This book dwells on the fundamentals of seabed seismic in terms of data acquisition, QC and pre-processing. The focus is on receivers placed on the seabed— hydrophones to measure pressure in water (p-waves), geophones or accelerometers to measure vertical particle motion (p-waves) and horizontal particle motion (s-waves). The discussion is mainly on four components (4C) which more or less covers other multi-component seismic techniques. The first three chapters end with a set of exercises that will be of tremendous help within the educational environment.
