Seismic wave propagation modeling and inversion / Моделирование распространения сейсмических волн и инверсия

The propagation of energy via waves is a familiar phenomenon in our everyday life. The particular waves to be studied here are seismic waves which are intentionally created to image the interior of the earth [1], [8] and [21]. Our three dimensional earth consists of more than the geological structures we are accustomed to thinking about, much of the earth is fluid or fluid-like. Here the principal fluids of interest are hydrocarbons. The other essential fluid to consider is water. The fluid-like materials include the many gases trapped in earth, gases like carbon dioxide, helium, and natural gas. Actually, we may not be aware of the less visible subsurface structure, but all of the surface geology you can observe, and more, exists in some form under the surface <...>
