Seismic tomography with the reversible jump algorithm

T Bodin, M Sambridge - Geophysical Journal International, 2009 - academic.oup.com
The reversible jump algorithm is a statistical method for Bayesian inference with a variable
number of unknowns. Here, we apply this method to the seismic tomography problem. The …

On the use of sensitivity tests in seismic tomography

N Rawlinson, W Spakman - Geophysical Journal International, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Sensitivity analysis with synthetic models is widely used in seismic tomography as a means
for assessing the spatial resolution of solutions produced by, in most cases, linear or …

Transdimensional tomography with unknown data noise

T Bodin, M Sambridge, N Rawlinson… - Geophysical Journal …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
A meaningful interpretation of seismic measurements requires a rigorous quantification of
the uncertainty. In an inverse problem, the data noise determines how accurately …

Bayesian seismic tomography using normalizing flows

X Zhao, A Curtis, X Zhang - Geophysical Journal International, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We test a fully non-linear method to solve Bayesian seismic tomographic problems using
data consisting of observed traveltimes of first-arriving waves. Rather than using Monte …

Generalised receiver functions and seismic interferometry

E Galetti, A Curtis - Tectonophysics, 2012 - Elsevier
Classical seismological receiver functions are correlational or deconvolutional combinations
