Seismic Data Processing with Seismic Un*x A 2D Seismic Data Processing Primer David Forel, Thomas Benz, and Wayne D. Pennington Michigan Technological University Course Notes Series No. 12 Lawrence Gochioco, Series Edi Society of Exploration Geophysicists Tulsa, Oklahoma, USASEG Policy on Software-Related Books SEG encourages the submission of manuscripts on software-related topics for publication in print and/or electronic form if the work’s primary aim is to promote the understanding of geophysics and if the work involves geophysical software that is either free or in wide distribution, SEG is not interested in publishing manuals describing only the technical aspects of operating geophysical software. However, SEG does seek to publish self- guided tutorials and other treatises focused on explicating geophysical principles that may heavily involve specific free or widely used geophysical software. SEG does not promote the discussed software to the exclusion of any other product.
