[1] The Global Positioning System (GPS) system now makes it possible to monitor deformation of the Earth’s surface along plate boundaries with unprecedented accuracy. In theory, the spatiotemporal evolution of slip on the plate boundary at depth, associated with either seismic or aseismic slip, can be inferred from these measurements through some inversion procedure based on the theory of dislo...

in this paper, we studied effect of different parameters including density, viscosity, interfacial tension and solute transfer concentration on phase inversion hold-up. the results showed that change in phase density ratio had no effect on phase inversion hold-up. it also disclosed that the phase viscosity ratio was the most effective parameter affecting phase inversion hold-up and each phase h...

A stochastic approach to seismic inversion using the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is proposed. Seismic depth and time image data are used as the input for EnKF stochastic seismic inversion. The sonic log is used to estimate source wavelet and create initial models for the inversion, which provides an efficient integration of sonic log data and seismic data. We use both travel time and waveform...

This paper concerns the Time-Domain Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) for dispersive and dissipative poroelastic materials. The forward problem is an initial boundary value (IBVP) of equations with a memory term; FWI formulated as minimization least-square misfit function constraint. In this paper, we derive adjoint problem, whose solution can be applied to computed direction steepest descent in it...
