How do seismic waves reveal three-dimensional variations in Earth structure beneath tectonic regions? Research applies seismic tomography and inverse methods to image subsurface velocity structure and anisotropy. Projects use tomographic inversions to map attenuation and anisotropic signatures that constrain deformation and composition. Researchers develop and apply inverse methods to improve resolution and quantify uncertainties in seismic models. Methods include seismic waveform analysis and tomographic imaging to interpret geophysical structure and tectonic processes.
