Abstract

Seismic diffractions are the response of important small scale elements in the subsurface such as faults, karsts, fractures. We distinguish between reflective and diffractive contributions to the wavefield and recognize the diffractive component as a key ingredient in establishing resolution. We present past, present and future of using the diffractions for seismic imaging and illustrate it with many interesting and exiting examples
