GPHY 5023 Seismic Inversion


(3 hours)
Introduces important theoretical aspects of seismic numerical modeling and inversion. Includes seismic wave propagation by using wave equations, ray tracing and Eikonal equations in isotropic and anisotropic media and various inversion methods such as singular value decomposition (SVD), damped least-square, Gauss-Newton and simulated annealing (SA). Introduction of seismic migration, tomography, impedance inversion and full waveform inversion (FWI). Helps students improve programming skills on seismic numberical modeling and inversion.
