One major cause of elastic wave attenuation in heterogeneous porous media is wave-
induced flow of the pore fluid between heterogeneities of various scales. It is believed that …

Prestack depth migration is the most glamorous step of seismic processing because it
transforms mere data into an image, and that image is considered to be an accurate …
