Advances in Seismic Full Waveform Modeling, Inversion and Their Applications

3D full waveform modeling and inversion holds promise for more accurate account of wave propagation, higher resolution Earth models, and better earthquake location and characterization. This session includes, but is not limited to, development and verification of full waveform forward modeling methods, and novel inverse algorithms, together with their applications in accurate source location (Earthquakes or Nuclear tests), imaging of velocity and attenuation structure at local to global scales, as well as full waveform migration. Topics related to quantitative interpretation of tomographic models (using seismological, geological or geochemical data) are also welcome.
