Springer Seismic Tomography - Global Seismology & Geophysics

Explore the advanced methodologies of image reconstruction in the field of earth sciences with Seismic Tomography by Springer. This volume, part of the Modern Approaches in Geophysics series, examines how methods used in electron microscopy, diagnostic medicine, and radio astronomy can be applied to seismic waves. The text covers how projections of physical properties, often involving line integrals, serve as measurable quantities to build object images. It details the use of convolutional methods and iterative algorithms designed to solve large systems of linear equations for effective reconstruction. By bridging the gap between other scientific imaging disciplines and seismic science, this book provides a technical foundation for understanding how seismic waves can be used for imaging purposes in both global seismology and exploration geophysics.
