Seismic Geology and Basin Analysis 1st Edition

Seismic Geology and Basin Analysis, 1st Edition by Changsong Lin is an essential guide for geoscientists, students, and exploration professionals seeking a clear, practical roadmap through seismic interpretation and basin-scale processes. Combining rigorous theory with field-proven methods, this first edition illuminates how seismic data reveal basin architecture, stratigraphy, and tectonic evolution.

Beginning with fundamental seismic principles and seismic stratigraphy, the book steadily advances to basin formation, subsidence patterns, and the controls on sedimentary facies. Real-world examples and annotated seismic sections demonstrate workflows for structural interpretation, sequence correlation, and reservoir characterization. Emphasis on data integration—well ties, seismic reflection, and geological maps—helps readers turn raw datasets into robust geological models.

Readers will value the book’s balanced mix of conceptual insight and applied technique: detailed explanations of seismic facies, depositional systems, and basin analysis; clear guidance on identifying traps, faults, and unconformities; and practical tips for assessing hydrocarbon potential and exploration risk. The accessible style makes complex geophysical concepts approachable while retaining the scientific depth required for research and professional use.

Whether preparing for fieldwork, teaching advanced courses, or refining exploration workflows, Seismic Geology and Basin Analysis, 1st Edition is a dependable reference that connects seismic observation to basin-scale interpretation. Order now to strengthen your skills in seismic interpretation, basin analysis, and subsurface modeling—essential competencies for modern petroleum geology and geoscience research.
