Seismic exploration is a powerful method for imaging the structure of the Earth and has been instrumental in understanding the complexity of subsurface geology. Major advances have been made in recent years and new concepts developed thanks to seismic-based and numerical modelling techniques, but significant problems, and ambiguities in geological interpretation of data remain. This session seeks contributions directly related to the practice of interpretation of the Earth's subsurface structure using seismic methods (from acquisition to advanced interpretation) or combining geological observations with numerical modelling approaches. The session will address problems related to fault structure, fluid-rock interactions using time lapse imaging and more generally, basin and tectonic analysis. Examples of contributions to this session include new techniques for validating seismic interpretations; studies that correlate geological and engineering data to ground truth geophysical observations; advances on-image processing and forward modelling techniques. Interdisciplinary studies that integrate geophysical datasets, geological observations and numerical modelling to investigate Earth systems are especially encouraged. Contributions to the session may have direct implications for topics such as CO2 sequestration, basin exploration, quantification of mineral resources, as well as for environment and civil engineering among others.
