Correct subsurface imaging from seismic data requires a velocity model that allows one to correctly simulate the propagation of seismic waves in the earth. One method to determine such a velocity model is reflection tomography. Reflection tomography is an inverse problem based on ray tracing as the forward problem. The tomographic inverse problem itself can be formulated in a variety of ways. The parametrization of the subsurface, the forward modeling and the optimization method are some of the further ingredients for which different choices can be made. The speakers will address most of these aspects from a theoretical point of view and they will show applications on synthetic and real data.
