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 …

Surface waves are widely used in near-surface geophysics and provide a noninvasive way
to determine near-surface structures. By extracting and inverting dispersion curves to obtain …

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

We present the theory for wave-equation inversion of dispersion curves, where the misfit
function is the sum of the squared differences between the wavenumbers along the …

Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology is, increasingly, the seismic acquisition mode
of choice for its high spatial sampling rate, low cost, and nonintrusive deployability. It is …

Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a powerful method for estimating the earth's material
properties. We demonstrate that surface-wave-driven FWI is well-suited to recovering near …

Estimating subsurface seismic properties is an important topic in civil engineering, oil and
gas exploration, and global seismology. We have developed an application of 2D elastic …

The problem of inverting for multiple physical parameters in the subsurface using seismic full-
waveform inversion (FWI) is complicated by interparameter trade-off arising from inherent …

Summary The Western Alps, although being intensively investigated, remains elusive when
it comes to determining its lithospheric structure. New inferences on the latter are important …

Seismic full-waveform inversion (FWI) methods hold strong potential to recover multiple
subsurface elastic properties for hydrocarbon reservoir characterization. Simultaneously …
