Seismic inversion

Seismic inversion is a geophysical technique used to interpret seismic data by estimating subsurface properties from reflected seismic waves. It involves converting the recorded seismic responses, which are usually in the form of amplitude and phase data, into quantitative information about the geological formations beneath the Earth's surface. The primary goal of seismic inversion is to generate models of the subsurface that depict the distribution of physical properties, such as: - Acoustic impedance: a measure of how much resistance a material offers to the propagation of seismic waves.
