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

A method has been developed to compute seismic reflection traveltimes in complex 3-D
velocity models with complex 3-D reflector geometry. An existing finite-difference algorithm …

Seismic data represent one of the most valuable resources for investigating the internal
structure and composition of the earth. One of the first people to deduce earth structure from …

This book describes the theory and practice of inverting seismic data for the subsurface rock
properties of the earth. The primary application is for inverting reflection and/or transmission …

Seismic inversion aims to reconstruct a quantitative model of the Earth subsurface, by
solving an inverse problem based on seismic measurements. There are at least three …
