Summary
We provide a discussion of the reflection wavefield in an exploration context, which allows links to be drawn to current developments for exploiting teleseismic arrivals. We provide a brief discussion of both land and marine seismic profiling, with emphasis on the multiple issues that arise in the case of a hard sea floor. We consider propagation issues using the operator development and show how this leads to understanding of migration procedures, with links to remapping of reflectivity as is currently being exploited in Marchenko techniques.
