Rezensionen

"In my opinion, this book is very well written. ... this book helps experts with distinct backgrounds better appreciate each other's contributions. ... I consider it valuable and enjoyable for even the most experienced geoscientists. In essence, it is a reminder of the amazing wealth of knowledge contained in seismic data and that the key to unlocking its true potential is an integrated approach that spans many disciplines. I highly recommended this book to be on every geoscientist's literature listing." (Andreas Rüger, The Leading Edge, Vol. 41 (4), April, 2022)
