Integrated Imaging of the Earth: Theory and Applications

Abstract

Description: Reliable and detailed information about the Earth s subsurface is of crucial importance throughout the geosciences. Quantitative integration of all available geophysical and geological data helps to make Earth models more robust and reliable. The aim of this book is to summarize and synthesize the growing literature on combining various types of geophysical and other geoscientific data. The approaches that have been developed to date encompass joint inversion, cooperative inversion, and statistical post–inversion analysis methods, each with different benefits and assumptions.
