Mathematics of Multidimensional Seismic Imaging, Migration, and Inversion (Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics, V. 13.)

Book Description
In the past 40 years geophysicists have found that it is possible to construct images and even determine important physical characteristics of rocks that can yield information about oil and gas bearing structures in the earth. To make these images and extract this information requires the application of an advanced understanding of the mathematical physics of wave propagation. The oil and gas industry labels a major collection of the necessary seismic data processing methods by the name seismic "migration." This text is the first to treat many kinds of migration in a unified mathematical way. The audience is mathematically oriented geophysicists or applied mathematicians working in the field of "inverse scattering imaging." The text can serve as a bridge between the applied math and geophysics community by presenting geophysicists with a practical introduction to advanced engineering mathematics, while presenting mathematicians with a window into the world of the mathematically sophisticated geophysicist.
