Abstract
A method and system for geophysical exploration including processing, displaying and interpreting seismic data. A concord of seismic signals is produced from the seismic wave energy detected for selected combinations of receiver and source locations. A rotation module operates on the concord of the seismic signals so as to generate diagonalized concords of seismic signals so as to focus on a particular component of the seismic wave energy in order to infer the geologic characteristics of the earth's subterranean formations. Additionally, measures of rotation angles necessary to diagonalize the concord of seismic signals can be obtained and displayed overlayed on the diagonalized concord of seismic signals or independently.
