“…For some sedimentary basins, such as Williston Basin in America [5][6][7], Alberta Basin in Canada [8,9], SongLiao and Tarim Basins in China [10,11], lithologic reservoirs are composed of thin beds with the thicknesses below the vertical resolution limits [12]. Meanwhile, thin-bed problems are also faced in engineering exploration, such as monitoring CO 2 storage at Sleipner in the Norwegian North Sea [2,[13][14][15]. Therefore, seismic responses of a thin bed, which carry information of stratigraphic structure, lithology and pore fluid, are significantly important to crustal, exploration and engineering research.…”
