Sediment deposition on continental margins and in the deep sea creates complex structures, which can be investigated by acoustic and seismic methods. The lecture presents advanced methods of data interpretation, two- and threedimensional imaging from echosounder to deep seismics and presents selected case studies from current GeoB research projects.

The students are trained in the selection of the suitable seismo-acoustic methods for studying different types of sedimentary structures.

Joint oral exam on module content (60%):

Practical exams (40%):
Written report about a project from one of the courses
