Colloquium: Can we solve the seismic inverse problem? by Maarten V. de Hoop (Rice University) in RLM 5.104
Spectacular advances in acquisition by dense arrays driven by the need for new information, converging interests in academic and private sector applications, and advances in sensor technology are producing fast growing volumes of (high quality) seismic waveform data. This wealth of data, probing Earth's interior, gives exciting new opportunities for learning. Fully exploiting these data leads to fundamental questions for inverse problems. I will give an overview of what we know about spectral and geometric inverse problems, and hyperbolic and time-harmonic inverse boundary value problems based on hierarchical, multiscale structures, pertaining to seismology.
