【 摘 要 】

Seismic inversions produce seismic models, which are 3-dimensional (3D) images of wave velocity of the entire planet retrieved by fitting seismic measurements made on records of past earthquakes or other seismic events. Computing power of the TeraFlop era, along with the dataflow from new, very dense, seismic arrays, has led to a new generation of 3D seismic Earth models with an unprecedented level of resolution.
