StratiScape Visualization Technology (originally The Visual Wavefield Project) was founded by Dr. Steven Lynch, a Registered Professional Geophysicist in the Province of Alberta. Steve spent the early part of his career in seismic processing, managing several Calgary based processing centers. He then migrated into research and development designing software for such varied fields as refraction analysis, structural and stratigraphic modeling and migration.
In the early 2000’s he began to suspect that our continuing use of, what were by then, archaic visualization technologies might be filtering out massive amounts of much needed subsurface information. Knowing little about visualization, he returned to the University of Calgary to study it, eventually receiving his PhD in Seismic Visualization in 2008.
Recognizing the need for change, he formed the self-funded “Visual Wavefield Project”. The Project was a vehicle both for developing the needed visualization technology and for completing the research necessary to prove that seismic is far more capable than currently believed. Now, with both goals accomplished, he has rebranded The Project as StratiScape Visualization Technology to mark the transition from research and development to industry practice.
