• A. Theoretical aspects

This is the third edition of Part A of Seismic Migration - now widely recognized as an authoritative, thorough treatment of seismic migration theory and methods. In previous editions, the emphasis has been on migration techniques based on the one-way wave equations. Nowadays, however, two-way wave-equation-based techniques are receiving increasingly more attention in the seismic literature and it is expected that two-way migration software will play a vital role in the future. In this new edition, therefore, Professor Berkhout devotes an equal amount of attention to one-way and two-way techniques. In chapters 5 to 12, all subjects are discussed according to the one-way and two-way approach, and the results are related to each other. Considering the growing importance of pre-stack migration in the seismic industry, ample attention has been paid to the theory of multi-dimensional pre-stack inversion. In particular, pre-stack migration has been treated in the shot-receiver space as well as in the midpoint-space. Again, results are related to each other.

Seismic Migration has been widely acclaimed by reviewers: one described it as ``undoubtedly excellent for geophysicists who require a thorough understanding of migration methods'', while another commented: ``Professor Berkhout leads his readers quickly to all essential points. The systematic treatment of the subject in terms of classical principles of acoustics and optics comes as a real refreshment. My professional colleagues value the book...''.
