Abstract
ERL's in-house nite difference code (Krasovec et al., 2003) has undergone several upgrades in the past year. Most notably, a stretched grid can now be used to greatly reduce the amount of RAM memory needed by certain types of models. Improvements have been made in the GUI front end, allowing more freedom and ease in building the model, source or source array, and receiver array.
The finite difference code has contributed to several different research projects at ERL in the past year. A few of these projects, including borehole seismics, reservoir delineation, and source mechanics, are shown in this report.
