Acoustic and elastic least-squares two-way wave equation migration with exact adjoint operator
DownloadSpring 2017
A major problem in exploration seismology entails estimating subsurface structures and properties via linearized inversion. The problem is often called ''least-squares migration" where seismic imaging is posed as an iterative least-squares problem. The iterative solution employs the method of...

An Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopic Diagnostic Device for Characterization of Liquid-Liquid Systems and Phase Separation Detection in Emulsions
DownloadFall 2013
Rapid characterization of complex fluids, especially sensing emulsion stability, is crucial for many industrial applications, ranging from pharmaceutical industry to petroleum production. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a powerful tool for electrical characterization of such...

Elastic Least-squares Reverse Time Migration and Elastic Gauss-Newton Full-waveform Inversion
DownloadFall 2018
With the fast development of high-performance computing resources, imaging and inversion techniques in the exploration geophysics community are moving from simplified methods to more complex methods that honour as far as possible the physics of wave propagation. Multiparameter imaging and...

Gradient projection methods with applications to simultaneous source seismic data processing
DownloadFall 2017
Simultaneous source acquisition, or blended acquisition, has become an important strategy to reduce the cost of seismic surveys by allowing overlapping between different sources. The major technical challenge associated with this acquisition design is the strong interferences caused by the...

Conventional seismic migration operators produce an image that suffers from low resolution, sampling artifacts, and poorly balanced amplitudes. An improved image can be obtained by casting migration as a least-squares optimization problem in which the goal is to minimize the difference between...

It is desirable to predict the surface tension of liquid mixtures for a wide range of compositions, temperatures, and pressures, but current state-of-the-art calculations (e.g., density gradient theory) are computationally expensive. We propose a computationally simple—but accurate—semi-empirical...

Historically seismic data processing has relied on the acoustic approximation to process single component data under the simplifying assumption that the recorded wavefield consists mainly of compressional wave modes. With the advancement of multicomponent seismic technology there is an increased...
