Seismic tomography is a powerful tool for illuminating Earth structure across a range of
scales, but the usefulness of any image that is generated by this method is dependent on …

Abstract The European Alps are the site where classic geologic concepts such as nappe
theory, continental subduction and slab breakoff have been first proposed. However, the …

Non-linear inverse problems in the geosciences often involve probabilistic sampling of
multimodal density functions or global optimization and sometimes both. Efficient algorithmic …

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 …

We have constructed a 3-D shear wave velocity (Vs) model for the crust and uppermost
mantle beneath the Middle East using Rayleigh wave records obtained from ambient-noise …

We present a proof of concept for Bayesian elastic full‐waveform inversion in 2‐D. This is
based on (1) Hamiltonian Monte Carlo sampling of the posterior distribution,(2) the …

Seismologists construct images of the Earth's interior structure using observations, derived
from seismograms, collected at the surface. A common approach to such inverse problems …

Transient electromagnetic method (TEM) is a geophysical tool to obtain resistivity
distribution in the subsurface. Combining with the resistivity property of typical rocks, the …

Taking advantage of the large number of seismic stations installed in Europe, in particular in
the greater Alpine region with the AlpArray experiment, we derive a new high-resolution 3-D …

SUMMARY A full understanding of the dynamics of mountain ranges such as the Alps
requires the integration of available geological and geophysical knowledge into a …
