Seismic full-waveform inversion (FWI) for imaging Earth's interior was introduced in the late
1970s. Its ultimate goal is to use all of the information in a seismogram to understand the …

Modelling methods are nowadays at the heart of any geophysical interpretation approach.
These are heavily relied upon by imaging techniques in elastodynamics and …

Full waveform inversion using the conventional L 2 distance to measure the misfit between
seismograms is known to suffer from cycle skip**. An alternative strategy is proposed in …

We propose a method to invert surface wave dispersion data directly for 3-D variations of
shear wave speed, that is, without the intermediate step of phase or group velocity maps …

We present the first-generation global tomographic model constructed based on adjoint
tomography, an iterative full-waveform inversion technique. Synthetic seismograms were …

Recent progress in numerical methods and computer science allows us today to simulate
the propagation of seismic waves through realistically heterogeneous Earth models with …

CyberShake, as part of the Southern California Earthquake Center's (SCEC) Community
Modeling Environment, is develo** a methodology that explicitly incorporates …

Resolution in seismic tomography intimately depends on data coverage, with different parts
of seismograms sensitive to different parts of Earth's structure. In classical seismic …

This book is an introductory text to a range of numerical methods used today to simulate time-
dependent processes in Earth science, physics, engineering, and many other fields. The …

Seismic velocity is considered the best attribute related to formation pressure changes.
Integrating seismic attributes and well-logging data through seismic inversion predicts the …
