Recent progress in numerical methods and computer science allows us
today to simulate the propagation of seismic waves through
realistically heterogeneous Earth models with unprecedented
accuracy. Full waveform tomography is a tomographic technique that
takes advantage of numerical solutions of the elastic wave
equation. The accuracy of the numerical solutions and the
exploitation of complete waveform information result in tomographic
images that are both more realistic and better resolved. This book
develops and describes state of the art methodologies covering all
aspects of full waveform tomography including methods for the
numerical solution of the elastic wave equation, the adjoint
method, the design of objective functionals and optimisation
schemes. It provides a variety of case studies on all scales from
local to global based on a large number of examples involving real
data. It is a comprehensive reference on full waveform tomography
for advanced students, researchers and professionals.
