From the broad field of seismology, a few things seem to pop up with regularity. Some of these have been collected here. Keep them in mind when working with seismic data—in particular, 3-D seismic data.

==Event tracking==

A key part of the interpretation process for 3-D seismic data is event tracking. To picture this, think of the [[3-D seismic: the data cube|3-D seismic data volume]] as a block of vanilla ice cream with chocolate streaks. Tracking means we follow a streak into the cube and find out where it goes—this is [[Seismic structure map|structure mapping]]. We also keep track of how dark the chocolate is as we follow it—this is [[amplitude map]]ping.
