Description

Full-waveform inversion (FWI) has become an essential tool for velocity model building in marine environments, but its application on land data remains challenging. Despite advances in land seismic acquisition, such as denser, wide-azimuth, and lower-frequency surveys, land FWI is hindered by strong noise, particularly at low frequencies, and complex near-surface conditions that generate ground roll, scattering, and multiples. Nevertheless, we have seen encouraging progress with successful case studies of FWI applied to land data. This workshop will explore the advancements in land FWI, review effective strategies, and discuss future directions for high-quality imaging in complex land settings.
