  abstract =   "One of the most important resources in the world today is
               energy. Oil and gas provide two thirds of the world energy
               consumption, making the world completely dependent on it.
               Locating and recovering the remaining oil and gas reserves
               will be of high focus in society until competitive energy
               sources are found. The search for hydrocarbons is broadly
               speaking the topic of this thesis. Seismic measurements of
               the subsurface are collected to discover oil and gas trapped
               in the ground. Identifying oil and gas in the seismic
               measurements requires visualization and interpretation.
               Visualization is needed to present the data for further
               analysis. Interpretation is performed to identify important
               structures. Visualization is again required for presenting
               these structures to the user. This thesis investigates how
               computer assistance in producing high-quality visualizations
               and in interpretation can result in expressive visualization
               and rapid interpretation of seismic volumes. Expressive
               visualizations represent the seismic data in an easily
               digestible, intuitive and pedagogic form. This enables rapid
               interpretation which accelerates the nding of important
               structures.",
