Popis: | Of all of the interpretation methods used in geophysics, inverse modeling, or inversion, is the most controversial. The method’s proponents describe it as a panacea, whereas detractors regard it as a black box which produces results having little relation to reality. A more balanced point of view suggests that the utility of inverse modeling lies between those two extremes and that the practicing geophysicist will use any reasonable help he can get to interpret his data. Over the last 15 years, inverse methods of considerable sophistication and complexity have been developed, spurred on by the widespread availability of digital computers. Equally important, numerical techniques have emerged to solve large equation systems rapidly and accurately. |
