Abstract

This chapter is a survey of the current state of inverse theory in solid earth geophysics. Topics that are surveyed include earthquake location methods (including double-difference methods), travel time tomography, earthquake moment tensor inversion, waveform tomography (including so called banana-doughnut kernels), free oscillation and surface wave inversions, surface wave tomography, attenuation tomography, signal correlation, tectonic plate motions and geodesy, gravity and geomagnetism, and electromagnetic induction (including the magnetotelluric method). The discussion references an extensive bibliography of classic articles that provide further details.
