Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on geophysical methods and their applications in subsurface characterization. It covers seismic wave propagation in various media, including porous rocks, anisotropic formations, and fluid-saturated systems. The journal also addresses inversion techniques for estimating subsurface properties, such as seismic impedance, porosity, and fluid saturation, and explores the use of advanced technologies like Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) and deep neural networks for data acquisition and processing. Applications include resource exploration (oil, gas, minerals, uranium), groundwater studies, and geohazard assessment.
