| Course Description: |
Will introduce the important theoretical aspects of the 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). Seismic migration, tomography, impedance inversion and full waveform inversion (FWI) are also introduced in this class. Helps students improve their programming skills on seismic numerical modeling and inversion. |
