Main Focus Introduce a structure-based constrain for cooperative and joint inversion problems Proof-of-concept of the constrain on cooperative inversion of seismic and gravity data
Seismic tomography Seismic tomography Reflectivity Profile First arrivals modelled by, Eikonal Eqn: Slowness Model Inversion ?? ??,??,? = ?(?)
Formulating inversion of gravity data based on seismic Formulating inversion of gravity data based on seismic inversion result inversion result Hint: Generally speaking, W can be any prior information Seismic Inversion result Weighting matrix of the cross- gradient from Reflectivity section
Results Improvement using the proposed constraint Gravity Inversion without constrain Gravity Inversion constrained with seismic section Gravity Inversion constrained with weighted cross-gradient
Ongoing and future work: Co-operative inversion of Reflection seismic and gravity data in hard-rock Gravity inversion constrained by sparse seismic lines
