The discipline of seismology is based on observations of ground motion that are inherently
undersampled in space and time. Our basic understanding of earthquake processes and our …

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 …

To better understand the subsurface behavior of subducting slabs and their relation to the
tectonic evolution of the overriding plate, we conduct a full waveform inversion on a large …

Building on global adjoint tomography model GLAD-M15, we present transversely isotropic
global model GLAD-M25, which is the result of 10 quasi-Newton tomographic iterations with …

The rapid expansion of broad-band seismic networks over the last decade has paved the
way for a new generation of global tomographic models. Significantly improved resolution of …

We have developed model S40RTS of shear-velocity variation in Earth's mantle using a new
collection of Rayleigh wave phase velocity, teleseismic body-wave traveltime and normal …

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 …

We present a computational framework for estimating the uncertainty in the numerical
solution of linearized infinite-dimensional statistical inverse problems. We adopt the …

In this paper, we present a series of mathematical abstractions for seismologically relevant
wave equations discretized using finite-element methods, and demonstrate how these …
