characterize the near surface. A near surface model is simulated with a shallow …

Full waveform tomography with consideration for large topography variations

W Zhang, J Zhang - SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts …, 2011 - library.seg.org
For inverting land seismic data, it sometimes requires to handle large topography variations
in the full waveform tomographic imaging. This may not be a trivial issue, since the forward …

Surface wave tomography for azimuthal anisotropy in a strongly reduced parameter space

MP Panning, G Nolet - Geophysical Journal International, 2008 - academic.oup.com
Large scale seismic anisotropy in the Earth's mantle is likely dynamically supported by the
mantle's deformation; therefore, tomographic imaging of 3-D anisotropic mantle seismic …

Surface wave tomography with spatially varying smoothing based on continuous model regionalization

C Liu, H Yao - Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2017 - Springer
Surface wave tomography based on continuous regionalization of model parameters is

Simultaneous inversion for velocity and attenuation by waveform tomography

F Gao, Y Wang - Journal of applied geophysics, 2016 - Elsevier
Seismic waveform tomography can invert for the velocity and attenuation (Q− 1) variations
simultaneously. For this simultaneous inversion, we propose two strategies for waveform …
