The impact of crustal scattering on body-wave reflection interferometry by cross-correlation and multidimensional deconvolution

Previous studies indicate that scattering may pose a trade-off for the performance of seismic interferometry (SI) applications for retrieving body-wave reflections of a target reflector. While it has been demonstrated that a higher scattering strength of the overburden improves the Green's function estimated by cross-correlation SI, other...

Target-oriented least-squares reverse-time migration using Marchenko double-focusing: reducing the artefacts caused by overburden multiples

Geophysicists have widely used least-squares reverse-time migration (LSRTM) to obtain high-resolution images of the subsurface. However, LSRTM is computationally expensive and it can suffer from multiple reflections. Recently, a target-oriented approach to LSRTM has been proposed, which focuses the wavefield above the target of interest....
