The Probabilistic Formulation of the Inverse Theory with Application to Selected Seismological Problems
Volume: 293
Series: B-19
In seismological investigations we are dealing with two types of problems: the forward and inverse ones. Inverse problems are all those problems in which we try to extract the desired information about a given physical system from information provided by an experiment, theory, or other sources.
The aim of this paper is to analyze selected seismological problems by means of the formalism of the Bayesian inverse theory. Particular items are connected with three different aspects of seismology, namely earthquake seismology (location of seismic sources), prospecting seismology (inverse of the AVO effect) and mining seismology (amplitude tomography).
