Jan Adriaanszoon Leeghwater1 ABSTRACT This lab will guide you through most of the steps - and pitfalls - of interval veloc-ity estimation, perhaps the most important problem in exploration geophysics. You will apply the least squares velocity scan of Lab 2, and then pick RMS veloc-ities using an autopicker and by hand. It even made the World Heritage list. Brilliant engineer Jan Adriaanszoon Leeghwater (literally empty (of) water) used 47 windmills to drain an area of almost 73 m2 km. The Beemster was turned into extremely fertile agricultural land and generated much wealth for the canny investors of the time. 8 Oldest church
