I consider the inference of subsurface medium parameters from measurements of (acoustic) seismic waves. The source of such waves may be either man-made --as is the case in oil&gas exploration -- or natural -- as in global seismology. Naturally, this...

Images obtained from (active) seismic data are used by the oil and gas industry for geophysical exploration. Waveform inversion tries to obtain a detailed image of the subsurface by solving a PDE-constrained optimization problem. The scale of the...
