A new zero-cost method of correcting static shift in magnetotelluric data is proposed based on 3D forward modelling and field tests. The method has been verified using synthetic and real data.

We have conducted the first application of wavelet-based denoising techniques for processing raw TDIP data. Our investigation included laboratory and field measurements to better understand the advantages and limitations of these techniques. It was found that distortions arising from conventional filtering can be significantly avoided with wavelet-based methods.

Microtremors were analysed using the H/H and H/V methods to estimate site effects of the Cheongcheon earthen dam in Korea. The peak near 3 Hz may correspond to depth to the bedrock, whereas the other peaks at higher frequencies may reflect the geometrical effect of the dam or overtone responses.

We use seismic interferometry to process ambient noise recorded in measurement lines. The Rayleigh wave component of the Green’s Functions is obtained with a high S/N ratio. Using CMPCC analysis, we can identify lateral variations of phase velocity inside the seismic line with higher resolution compared to conventional analysis.

This paper describes the use of binary and multiclass support vector machine models with geophysical log data to estimate the volcanic lithology of the Liaohe Basin in China. A comparison between predicted data and actual data from four wells indicates that binary and multiclass support vector machine models are effective methods for classifying volcanic lithology.

A new method is presented for the inversion of airborne gamma-ray spectrometric line data to a regular grid of radioelement concentration estimates on the ground. The method incorporates the height of the aircraft and the topography. It eliminates terrain effects and improves the interpolation between flight lines.

Based on the phase velocity and attenuation propagation velocity, a method for performing numerical dispersion analysis of three-dimensional Laplace-Fourier-domain scalar wave equation is presented. This method is applied to a 27-point average-derivative optimal scheme and a 27-point finite-element scheme.
