APPLIED GEOPHYSICS AND GEOPHYSICAL INFORMATICS


New information technologies for the geophysical studies are as follows: development of the method of active seismology and investigation of a possibility of seismic sounding for studying the deformation processes in the Earth's crust and upper mantle using vibrators; development of the method of multi-dimensional Fourier transform on the basis of the theoretical-numerical approach; analysis of parameters of seismic-acoustic signals along the mixed traces and their effective use in the problems of vibrosounding of the Earth; development of the basis for the study of peculiarities of propagation of seismic waves to teleseismic distances of about 1000 km and measurement of their parameters using vibrational sources.

New technical schemes of powerful seismic vibrators for the global monitoring of the Earth, algorithms and systems for the automatic control of vibrators, check systems providing high accuracy of reproduction of seismic sounding signals are under development.

Methods for the selective detection of faintly luminous celestial bodies moving along orbits where they can pass in the near future in the dangerous proximity to the Earth are being created.

Computer methods for the geological prospecting using the investigation of operations, pattern recognition, mathematical analysis of similarity with the analysis of the degree of similarity are being elaborated.
