The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of the current state of the art in seismic
tomography, and trace its origins from pioneering work in the early 1970s to its present …

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 …

By specifying a discrete matrix formulation for the frequency–space modelling problem for
linear partial differential equations ('FDM'methods), it is possible to derive a matrix formalism …

Full waveform inversion (FWI) is a high-resolution seismic imaging technique that is based
on using the entire content of seismic traces for extracting physical parameters of the …

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 …

Using an inversion strategy based on adjoint methods, we developed a three-dimensional
seismological model of the southern California crust. The resulting model involved 16 …

We iteratively improve a 3-D tomographic model of the southern California crust using
numerical simulations of seismic wave propagation based on a spectral-element method …

Reflection tomography is an inversion method that adjusts a velocity and retkctor depth
model to be consistent with the prestack time data. This tomography approach minimizes lhe …

The accurate prediction of seismic traveltimes is required in many areas of seismology,
including the processing of seismic reflection profiles, earthquake location, and seismic …

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 …
