5-Day Seismic Imaging Course

Objective: Learn fundamental and advanced concepts of FWI and LSM. Computer exercises reinforce and deepen understanding of concepts discussed in lectures. You hear something, you forget it. You write something, you remember. You do something, you understand it. See Outline.
