Thesis title:

"A scaling medium representation, a discussion on well-logs, fractals and waves"

Abstract:

The main subject of this research project was, and still is, to understand how the complexity of the earth's subsurface is transferred to the wavefield. It was shown that the apparent complexity can be captured by means of a scaling medium representation where the H\"older exponents and the singularity spectrum constitute useful order of magnitude estimates. These estimates mathematically quantify the local and global aspects of the singularity structure delineating the scaling. At this point the question arises whether the current formulation for acoustic wave motion is capable of describing the transport of the singularity structure, displayed by the medium's heterogeneity, to the acoustic wavefield and vice versa.
