Inversion of Geophysical Data

Education facts

Code: 1GE016

How do geophysicists derive models of the Earth's interior from a finite number of error-prone observations on the Earth's surface? And how do they assess the quality of such models? In this course, you will get a broad overview of the underlying theory and practical algorithms for solving such inverse problems. Having followed this course you are well prepared to understand the numerous research papers describing applications in various geophysical disciplines, and self be able to design and solve geophysical inverse problems.
