Diffractions encode subwavelength information and superior illumination but are weak in
amplitude and strongly interfere with the more dominant reflected wavefield. Accordingly, the …

The diffractive component of the wavefield is often treated as noise during traditional
preprocessing workflows. However, it possesses valuable information for imaging faults …

Seismic diffractions are the responses of small-scale discontinuous structures. They contain
subwavelength geologic information. Thus, diffractions can be used for high-resolution …

Seismic diffractions are weak seismic events hidden within the more dominant reflection
events in a seismic profile. Separating diffraction energy from the poststack seismic profiles …

In exploration seismology, reflections have been extensively used for imaging and inversion
to detect hydrocarbon and mine resources, which are generated from subsurface continuous …

Despite its unique properties the diffracted seismic wavefield is still rarely exploited in
common practice. Although the first works on seismic diffraction date back at least as far as …

Diffractions are the seismic responses of subsurface small-scale geologic discontinuities or
inhomogeneities, whose energy is much weaker than that of reflections. To eliminate the …

Diffraction separation is considered of great importance for the full-wavefront reconstruction
(FWR) of ground penetrating radar (GPR) and its delicate data processing. In contrast to …

Seismic diffraction events, often overlooked as noise in conventional seismic imaging
methods, contain valuable high-resolution information about subsurface structures and …

Faults and fractures represent unique features of the solid Earth and are especially
pervasive in the shallow crust. Aside from directly relating to crustal dynamics and the …
