Abstract
Seismic velocities are usually considered to be seismic properties. In the Earth's upper crust, however, these are influenced strongly by confining stresses, pore pressures, fluid saturations, temperature, and porosity, to name only a few. This contribution focuses on how these different factors interact to result in a seismic velocity that will be finally observed. The components of a rock – its minerals, saturating fluids, and solid frame –...
