Geophysical inverse problems
Geophysical inverse problems
Geophysics is a rich source of inverse problems and the first field of research in which statistical (Bayesian) inversion was widely adopted: subsurface can be probed with a large number of modalities and each modality involves a large number of parameters, only few of which are typically interesting. Furthermore, other modelling errors and uncertainties such as domain truncation are practically unavoidable.
We have considered electromagnetic and wave propagation related modalities, with the latter being the main focus currently. However, we study the related uncertainty modelling in general, including the multimodality joint inversion and estimation of risks in prospecting. A particular focus is on estimation of water resources (video on youtube).
