Abstract: A computer implemented technique for use in seismic data interpretation and, more particularly, with respect to near-surface geological structures, includes a computer-implemented method, including: jointly interpreting a plurality of complementary data sets describing different attributes of a near-surface geologic structure; and ascertaining a near-surface geomorphology from the joint interpretation. In another aspect, the technique includes a program storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed, perform such a method. In yet another aspect, the method includes a computing apparatus programmed to perform such a method.

Abstract: Method for estimating one or more ray parameters for seismograms. In one implementation, the method may include selecting a reference seismogram from a gather of seismograms, selecting a set of seismograms neighboring the reference seismogram, generating a set of seismic interferograms from the reference seismogram and the selected set of seismograms, slant stacking the set of seismic interferograms to generate a ray parameter seismic interferogram corresponding to the reference seismogram and estimating a ray parameter from the ray parameter seismic interferogram.
