Prestack depth migration PSDM analysis has the potential to significantly improve the accuracy of both shallow seismicreflectionimagesandthemeasuredvelocitydistributions.InastudydesignedtoimagefaultsintheAlvordBasin, Oregon, at depths from 25‐1000 m, PSDM produced a detailed reflection image over the full target depth range. In contrast, poststack time migration produced significant migration artifacts in the upper 100 m that obscured reflection events and limited the structural interpretation in the shallow section. Additionally, an abrupt increase from 2500 to 3000 m/s in the PSDM velocity model constrained the interpretation of the transition from sedimentary basin fill to basementvolcanicrocks.PSDManalysisrevealedacomplex extensional history with at least two distinct phases of basin growthandamidbasinbasementhighthatformsthedivision betweentwomajorbasincompartments.
