The EAGE Education Tours (EET) are our flagship programme since 2006 and have attracted thousands of participants worldwide. A selection of EET courses are currently being offered online in order to give participants the possibility to follow the latest education in geoscience and engineering remotely. This programme is supported by the EAGE Education Fund, making it available to members all over the world for discounted fees.

Brief course description
This video series will deal with velocities, imaging and waveform inversion, thereby concentrating on the origin and nature of the geological complexities that give rise to imaging problems, as well as a physical (rather than mathematical) understanding of the principles behind subsurface parameter estimation techniques, and will also look at some possible future directions.
Course Material
All
delegates will receive a copy of the e-book via email shortly after enrolling in the course.This book is part of Ian Jones’ EAGE Education Tour and will be a fusion of practical industrial elements, concentrating on the origin and nature of the geological complexities that give rise to imaging problems, as well as a physical (rather than mathematical) understanding of subsurface parameter estimation, and will also look at some possible future directions.
Participant profile
The course is designed for practising geoscientists and geoscience students who desire to better understand the principles and limitations of both current and emerging technologies involved in subsurface parameter estimation and imaging, and geoscience students.
Pre-requisites
A general knowledge of geophysics.
About the instructor
Ian F. Jones received a joint honours BSc in Physics
with Geology from the University of Manchester, UK, in 1977, an MSc in Seismology from the University of Western Ontario, Canada, and a PhD in Geophysical Signal Processing from the University of British Columbia, Canada. After working for ‘Inverse
Theory & Applications Inc.’ in Canada for two years, he joined CGG, where for 15 years he was involved in R&D in the London and Paris offices, latterly as manager of the depth imaging research group. Since 2000 he has been with ION GX Technology,
as a Senior Geophysical Advisor in their London office.
His interests include velocity model building and migration, and his most recent activity includes writing the text books: ‘Velocities, Imaging, and Waveform Inversion: the evolution of
characterising the Earth’s subsurface’ published by the EAGE in 2018; ‘An Introduction to Velocity Model Building’ published by the EAGE in 2010; and co-editing the SEG Geophysics Reprints series volumes ‘Classics of Elastic Wave Theory’ and also
‘Pre-Stack Depth Migration and Velocity Model Building’, as well as contributing the chapter on model building to the new SEG online encyclopaedia.
He is an associate editor for the journals ‘Geophysics’ and ‘Geophysical Prospecting’, and teaches
the EAGE/PESGB/SEG continuing education course on ‘Velocity Model Building’ and is an external lecturer at the University of Leeds and Imperial College London. Ian was awarded the EAGE’s Anstey Medal in 2003 for contributions to the depth imaging
literature, made the SEG European Honorary Lecturer in 2012, conducted the 2018-2019 EAGE international Education Tour, and was made an Honorary Life Member by the EAGE in 2018.
