Inverse problems in geophysical applications

The papers in this volume describe recent accomplishments in the area, and also give pointers for future research, thereby prompting questions that advance the science and lead to open questions about the underlying mathematics. This volume should be of interest to mathematicians who wish to know more about this application area, and to geophysicists interested in theoretical analysis.
