Abstract

This talk will describe some recent investigations of three-dimensional seismic structure using adjoint waveform tomography. My focus has been more on the practical aspects of obtaining reliable Earth models for seismic simulations, rather than the interpretation in terms of tectonics (although interesting features are imaged). Applications include models to account for complex paths effects in seismic source inversions and modeling of earthquake strong motions.
