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 …

Seismic tomography has been a vital tool in probing the Earth's internal structure and
enhancing our knowledge of dynamical processes in the Earth's crust and mantle. While …

Frequency-domain wavefield solutions corresponding to the anisotropic acoustic wave
equation can be used to describe the anisotropic nature of the Earth. To solve a frequency …

The study of parallel and distributed applications and platforms, whether in the cluster, grid,
peer-to-peer, volunteer, or cloud computing domain, often mandates empirical evaluation of …

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 …

This book places data assimilation (DA) into the broader context of inverse problems and the
theory, methods, and algorithms that are used for their solution. It strives to provide a …

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

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 …

We amalgamate two fundamental designs from distinct areas of wave control in physics, and
place them in the setting of elasticity. Graded elastic metasurfaces, so-called metawedges …
