Characterising ice slabs in firn using seismic full waveform inversion, a sensitivity study [PDF]
The density structure of firn has implications for hydrological and climate modelling, and ice-shelf stability. The structure of firn can be evaluated from depth models of seismic velocity, widely obtained with Herglotz–Wiechert inversion (HWI), an ...

Seismic full waveform inversion in archaeological prospecting [PDF]
Seismic full waveform inversion is introduced as novel high-resolution imaging tool in archaeological prospection. The full waveform inversion approach allows the high-resolution characterization of low-contrast sedimentary layers, high-contrast stone wall structures and air-filled cavities.

Time-lapse seismic attenuation as a tool for monitoring hydrocarbons and CO2 in geological materials [PDF]
Both laboratory experiments and theoretical models have shown seismic attenuation to be sensitive to various petrophysical properties of rock and pore fluids, making attenuation a potentially useful time-lapse attribute to measure and interpret through ...

Source-independent full-waveform inversion of seismic data [PDF]
Abstract A rigorous full-waveform inversion of seismic data has been a challenging subject, partly because of the lack of precise knowledge of the source. Since currently available approaches involve some form of approximations to the source, inversion results are subject to the quality and choice of the source information used.

Envelope-based constrained model for multiparameter pre-stack seismic inversion
Pre-stack seismic inversion is an effective method to estimate multiparameter from seismic reflection data in the oil–gas reservoir exploration. In order to get a reliable inverted parameter result, a constrained model is commonly used to reduce the ...

Full waveform inversion with combined misfit functions and application in land seismic data
Full waveform inversion reconstructs subsurface structures by matching the synthetic waveform to the observed waveform. Inaccuracy of the source wavelets can, thus, easily lead to an inaccurate model.

Waveform inversion of the S reflector west of Spain: fine structure of a detachment fault. [PDF]
The S reflection west of Iberia has been interpreted as a low-angle detachment fault separating crustal fault blocks from partially serpentinized mantle. We apply full waveform inversion to investigate the fine structure of S.

Data-Driven Seismic Waveform Inversion: A Study on the Robustness and Generalization [PDF]
Acoustic- and elastic-waveform inversion is an important and widely used method to reconstruct subsurface velocity image. Waveform inversion is a typical non-linear and ill-posed inverse problem. Existing physics-driven computational methods for solving waveform inversion suffer from the cycle skipping and local minima issues, and not to mention ...

Estimation of gas hydrate concentration from multi-component seismic data at sites on the continental margins of NW Svalbard and the Storegga region of Norway [PDF]
High-resolution seismic experiments, employing arrays of closely spaced, four-component ocean-bottom seismic recorders, were conducted at a site off western Svalbard and a site on the northern margin of the Storegga slide, off Norway to investigate how ...
