Abstract
Much tectonic speculation of Red Sea rifting has been founded upon the assumed structural styles interpreted from exclusively either solid earth geophysical surveys or poor resolution single channel reflection seismic profiles. The problem of seismically imaging the basement and its associated structures has been compounded by significant wavelet attenuation and multiple generation contributed by the overlying salt.
