= Linear seismic inversion
{wiki=Linear_seismic_inversion}
Linear seismic inversion is a geophysical technique used to derive subsurface models of the Earth's structure based on seismic data. This process involves using recorded seismic waveforms, which are reflections or refractions caused by subsurface geological features, and estimating the properties of the subsurface layers, such as their density, velocity, and elastic properties. The term "linear" refers to the assumption that the relationship between the seismic data and the subsurface properties is linear.
