%X Gaussian Beam migration is an elegant, accurate, and efficient depth migration method. It has the ability to image complicated geologic structures with fidelity exceeding that of single-arrival Kirchhoff migration, and approaching that of wave-equation migration. In fact, for very steep dips, the accuracy of Gaussian Beam migration can exceed that of most wave-equation migrations. The method also has the important advantage that it can readily account for the presence of anisotropy.
