Monte Carlo inversion techniques were first used by Earth scientists more than 30 years
ago. Since that time they have been applied to a wide range of problems, from the inversion …

The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of the current state of the art in seismic
tomography, and trace its origins from pioneering work in the early 1970s to its present …

The main motivation for writing this book is to report on an existing repertoire of geostatistical
methods for handling the integration of geophysical information in reservoir modeling and …

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 …

Various Green's functions occurring in Poisson potential field theory can be used to
construct non-orthogonal, non-compact, continuous wavelets. Such a construction leads to …

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 …

Waveform inversion met severe challenge in retrieving long‐wavelength background
structure. We have proposed to use envelope inversion to recover the large‐scale …

In the frequency domain, gradient-based local-optimization methods of waveform inversions
have been unsuccessful at inverting subsurface parameters without an accurate starting …

In this study, seismic inversion is carried out using a genetic algorithm (GA) as well as a
hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) approach to optimize the objective function designed for the …

We model the second inflation period at Long Valley caldera, California using a genetic
algorithm technique and high quality geodetic measurements of elevation changes and …
