What is it about?
When I look at any object in front of me, I understand it better if I move it a bit left, right, up and down: my brain get so a better understanding of it. When can do the same thing by the "mathematical lenses" of tomography, and the results are remarkably good.

Why is it important?
This method is particularly cheap and efficient to improve the 3D images of the Earth, for any kind of geoscience application: hydrocarbon production, CO2 sequestration, water resources, seismology, seismic hazard, and so on.
Perspectives
This method is very simple but, surprisingly, not so often used. As soon as it will be tested by more people and the improved result it provides will be evident to anybody, it might become a standard approach.
