Seismic wavefield imaging of Earth's interior across scales

J Tromp - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, 2020 - nature.com
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 …
