Monte Carlo inversion techniques were first used by Earth scientists more than 30 years
ago. Since that time they have been applied to a wide range of problems, from the inversion …

Seismic data represent one of the most valuable resources for investigating the internal
structure and composition of the earth. One of the first people to deduce earth structure from …

We model the second inflation period at Long Valley caldera, California using a genetic
algorithm technique and high quality geodetic measurements of elevation changes and …

Regional broadband waveforms and travel times of seismic phases are combined to model
crustal structure in regions where the signal-to-noise ratio (snr) of waveforms is low. The …

Most existing algorithms for fitting adaptive splines are based on nonlinear optimization
and/or stepwise selection. Stepwise knot selection, although computationally fast, is …

Migration velocity analysis, a method for determining long wavelength velocity structure, is a
critical step in prestack imaging. Solution of this inverse problem is made difficult by a …

In this study, we analyze regional seismograms to obtain the crustal structure in the eastern
Great Basin and western Colorado plateau. Adopting a forward-modeling approach, we …

The detailed upper crustal structure of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) at 17° 20′ S is examined
by applying a genetic algorithm‐based waveform inversion to five multichannel seismic …

Here we present an inversion methodology using the combination of a genetic algorithm
(GA) inversion program, and an elastic-gravitational earth model to determine the …

A 20 element seismic array was deployed onshore across the 65Ma. Chicxulub impact
crater, Yucatan, Mexico as part of an integrated onshore–offshore seismic experiment …
