The work begins

Met Dr.Sen today at 2.30 pm. When I got to my office I was a bit hesitant to go into his room as I found him busy working once and the other time I went I found him talking on phone. After asking fellow office mets about what's the protocol I was bit relaxed when they told me it was just knowing at the door that took to grab is attention.

We discussed what possible direction I may have to work. He started off with Seismic Imaging and probably seismic anisotropy. Both the fields are new to me and I am definitely excited to be working on any of these fields.

He commenced with explaining with the help of sketch board about the two classification of migration:Imaging and Extrapolation. Extrapolation method as the name itself suggests has many algorithms like Kirchoff, Phase shift migration ,reverse time migration. When I asked about Phase Shift migration of which I had read a little he explained to me how in a homogeneous media in which velocity varies only with depth this method can be employed to do quick migration. With the aid of exploding earth model and the concept of downward migration to arrive at a solution he explained how a feasible solution can be arrived at.

I hope to be occupied well with the work at hand and that is to understand migration principles.
