Seismic:Reflection:MCS

Processed multichannel seismic data on the East Pacific Rise, acquired during R/V Marcus G. Langseth expedition MGL10812 (2008)
This 3D multichannel seismic reflection study on board the Langseth sought to obtain geometrically correct images of the magma system using 3D migration processing. The goal was to obtain 3D seismic data that could be used to derive a detailed map of layer 2A and estimates of the crustal velocity field that can be interpreted in terms of porosity and used to map potential fluid pathways.
