CRS-stack-based seismic reflection imaging
... Obtaining a sufficiently accurate image, either in time or in depth domain, is often a difficult task, especially in regions with complex geological structure or for data with low signalto-noise (S/N) ratio. Therefore, it is advisable to extract as much information as possible directly from the meas ...

Imaging continental collision and subduction in the Pamir mountain

Attenuation at this scale may be seen as a proxy for rheology and hence is very sensitive to e.g., homologous temperature and deformation. We use data from a ...
