Inverse Methods: Interdisciplinary Elements of Methodology, Computation, and Applications [Paperback]

Over the last few decades inversion concepts have become an integral part of experimental data interpretation in several branches of science. In numerous cases similar inversion-like techniques were developed independently in separate disciplines, sometimes based on different lines of reasoning, but not always to the same level of sophistication.
This book is based on the Interdisciplinary Inversion Conference held at the University of Aarhus, Denmark. For scientists and graduate students in geophysics, astronomy, oceanography, petroleum geology, and geodesy, the book offers a wide variety of examples and theoretical background in the field of inversion techniques.The success story of the transfer and development of methods from geophysics to helioseismology.- Filtering in inversion for solar internal structure.- Averaging kernels, error correlation functions and linear methods in helioseismology.- Inversion for the velocity field in the solar interior.- On the choice of trade-off parameter in helioseismic SOLA inversion.- Prospects for binary star research using disentangling.- Estimating bidirectional transport parameters for the blood-retina barrier  a feasibility study.- Determination and variability of depth profiles from XPS backgrounds.- Uncertainties in seismic inverse calculations.- Constrained waveform inversion of seismic well data.- Geological information and the inversion of seismic data.- A study of model covariances in amplitude seismic inversion.- Resolution and error propagation analysis for tomographic data with correlated errors.- Estimating background velocity from reflection seismic data  A feasibility study.- Phase migration: An approach to inversion of wide-angle seismic data.- Location of seismic events  A quest for accuracy.- Inverse estimation of parameters in petroleum reaction networks.- Inversion of a simple petroleum expulsion model.- Inversion of transient hydraulic head variation caused by a controlled point source.- Deconl³(
