From source to subsurface image: how the seismic method actually works
A seismic image is not a photograph. It is a model-dependent reconstruction shaped by acquisition, processing, velocity, imaging, and interpretation.

The subsurface, explained from first principles.
Five original essays connect seismic acquisition, inversion, uncertainty, exploration decisions, responsible E&P, and energy-transition applications—without hiding assumptions behind jargon.

Full-waveform inversion and uncertainty: a model is not the same as the truth
FWI can recover high-resolution structure, but meaningful confidence requires tests of data, physics, parameterization, and distribution shift.
Read field noteFrom basin screening to production: the exploration and E&P decision chain
Geoscience creates value by reducing the uncertainties that matter as decisions move from regional screening to drilling, development, surveillance, and closure.
Read field noteArtificial intelligence in geoscience without the hype
Useful geoscience AI needs meaningful baselines, deployment-shaped validation, calibrated uncertainty, and clear physical boundaries.
Read field noteSubsurface geoscience in the energy transition—and in responsible oil and gas operations
Carbon storage, geothermal energy, underground storage, environmental monitoring, and responsible hydrocarbon operations all depend on testable subsurface models.
