• I develop two novel methods for imaging interbed I develop two novel methods for imaging interbed multiples, and apply them to field and synthetic datamultiples, and apply them to field and synthetic data
• I attenuate high-order multiples to solve a major I attenuate high-order multiples to solve a major problem in multiple imaging: the interference from problem in multiple imaging: the interference from other multiples. This strategy makes multiple other multiples. This strategy makes multiple imaging a more practical toolimaging a more practical tool
