Inverse problems in anisotropic elasticity

Description of the granted funding

The purpose of geomathematical inverse problems is to produce methods for the indirect study of the interior structure of the Earth and to prove that these methods are reliable. Most models in current use assume that the speed of seismic waves is the same in all directions, but this is not true. This project builds on recent geometric and analytic results and proves for the first time that we can reliably see inside our planet despite anisotropy.
