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 …
Recent progress in numerical methods and computer science allows us today to simulate the propagation of seismic waves through realistically heterogeneous Earth models with …

This article provides an overview of the application of the staggered-grid finite-difference technique to model wave propagation problems in 3D elastic media. In addition to …
Real earth media disperse and attenuate propagating mechanical waves. This anelastic behavior can be described well by a viscoelastic model. We have developed a finite …
The modeling of elastic waves with an explicit finite difference (FD) scheme on a staggered grid causes instability problems when the medium possesses high contrast discontinuities …
