Seismic Soundoff

Carlos Calderón-Macías discusses his 2022 Latin America Honorary Lecture, "Near-surface scattering in seismic data: from signal to noise and noise to signal." Carlos holistically explores the near-surface scattering problem in this conversation with host Andrew Geary. He highlights ways to understand the problem better and why using the noise as signal approach should be further developed. He also explores the differences in the scattered waves for land, ocean-bottom, and near-surface data. Carlos shares what inspired this lecture, the three groups perfect for this talk, and the questions he hopes attendees will ask themselves. Not only does this conversation highlight the near-surface scattering problem, but it showcases general approaches for solving any geophysical problem.
