A fast adaptive wavelet-based method, called multiresolution finite difference (MRFD), is proposed to simulate the wave propagation in multilayered media with general boundary. It is a promising method for complex media because of its robustness and small computational burden. Numerical results derived from geophysics exploration show the effectiveness and potential of the method.
