Land Seismic Case Studies for Near-Surface Modeling and Subsurface Imaging is a comprehensive guide designed specifically for practicing geophysicists. It encompasses a wealth of knowledge and insights into the understanding and analysis of seismic data. This book represents the culmination of land seismic data acquisition and processing projects conducted by the author over the past two decades. It contains nearly 800 figures, derived from a wide range of worldwide case studies conducted in both 2D and 3D environments.

The book begins with Chapter 1, which delves into seismic characterization of the near-surface. Chapter 2 explores near-surface modeling techniques, focusing on traveltime and full-wave inversion methods. Chapter 3 introduces near-surface modeling through imaging techniques, while Chapter 4 presents detailed case studies for near-surface modeling. Chapter 5 focuses on single- and multichannel signal processing of land seismic data, with the primary objective of removing surface waves and guided waves that are characterized as coherent linear noise.

Chapter 6 highlights uncommon seismic data acquisition methods, such as large-offset acquisition in thrust belts to capture large-amplitude supercritical reflections, swath-line acquisition, and joint PP and SH-SH seismic imaging. Chapter 7 discusses image-based rms velocity estimation and addresses the issue of velocity uncertainty. The final two chapters, Chapters 8 and 9, are dedicated exclusively to case studies in 2D and 3D, respectively.

What sets this book apart as an outstanding teaching tool is the inclusion of analysis workflows that contain processing steps designed to solve specific problems. These workflows are meticulously crafted to assist readers in navigating the complexities of seismic data analysis. Whether you are involved in seismic acquisition, processing, or inversion, this volume will undoubtedly become the definitive reference for understanding how the variables in seismic acquisition directly impact the data.

In conclusion, Land Seismic Case Studies for Near-Surface Modeling and Subsurface Imaging is a invaluable resource for geophysicists seeking to enhance their understanding and expertise in seismic data analysis. With its comprehensive coverage, extensive figures, and practical analysis workflows, this book provides a solid foundation for anyone looking to advance their knowledge in this field.
