The goal of seismic inversion is to obtain subsurface properties from surface measurements. Seismic images have proven valuable, even crucial, for a variety of applications, including subsurface energy exploration, earthquake early warning, carbon capture and sequestration, estimating pathways of sub-surface contaminant transport, etc. These subsurface properties˜(such as wave speed, density, impedance, and reflectivity) influence the transmission of seismic waves through the subsurface media, and wellunderstood physics models (so-called "forward models") can be used to predict what surface measurements would be made, for any given subsurface configuration. Seismic inversion is the inverse problem: given actual surface measurements, infer what
