Seismic interferometry refers to a new range of methods where inter-receiver wavefields (those that would have been recorded if one of each pair of receivers had been a source) can be estimated by cross-correlation of wavefields recorded at each of the receivers. These methods have found many applications in different fields of seismology, including creating "virtual" sources in wells under complex overburdens, computational full-wavefield modelling, and passive construction of surface wave waveforms from background noise in the Earth. Curtis et al. (2006) provide an overview of various applications of seismic interferometry referred to herein, and more in-depth works can be found in the special supplement on Seismic Interferometry in the July-August issue of GEOPHYSICS.
