Applications of 2D and 3D full waveform tomography in acoustic and viscoacoustic complex media

Full waveform tomography (FWT) is a high-resolution imaging method to exploit the full richness of recorded waveforms. It is able to resolve subsurface structures smaller than a wavelength. In this work I developed 2D and 3D time-domain implementations of acoustic FWT including its optimization with respect to methodological and technical aspects. I accomplished several synthetic feasibility studies with applications to seismic data computed in cross-well or reflection experiments.
