About the author

Gary F. Margrave has extensive experience with seismic data in both the corporate and academic worlds. His career began with fifteen years at Chevron, before twenty years as a Professor of Geophysics at the University of Calgary, where he taught courses on which this book is based. He then spent two years as Senior Geophysical Advisor at Devon Energy. He is now retired but still pursuing a vigorous research program.Michael P. Lamoureux is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Calgary, with a research focus on functional analysis and its application to physics, signal processing, and imaging. He has a keen interest in developing advanced mathematical methods for use in real industrial settings.
