Seismic wave propagation forms the basis for most aspects of seismological research, yet solving the wave equation is a major computational burden that inhibits the progress of research. This is exaspirated by the fact that new simulations must be performed when the velocity structure or source location is perturbed. Here, we explore a prototype framework for learning general solutions using a recently developed machine learning paradigm called Neural Operator. A trained Neural Operator can compute a solution in negligible time for any velocity structure or source location. We develop a scheme to train Neural Operators on an ensemble of simulations performed with random velocity models and source locations. As Neural Operators are grid-free, it is possible to evaluate solutions on higher resolution velocity models than trained on, providing additional computational efficiency. We illustrate the method with the 2D acoustic wave equation and demonstrate the methods applicability to seismic tomography, using reverse mode automatic differentiation to compute gradients of the wavefield with respect to the velocity structure. The developed procedure is nearly an order of magnitude faster than using conventional numerical methods for full waveform inversion.

Seismology was developed on Earth and shaped our model of the Earths interior over the 20th century. With the exception of the Philae lander, all in situ extraterrestrial seismological effort to date was limited to other terrestrial planets. All have in common a rigid crust above a solid mantle. The coming years may see the installation of seismometers on Europa, Titan and Enceladus, so it is necessary to adapt seismological concepts to the setting of worlds with global oceans covered in ice. Here we use waveform analyses to identify and classify wave types, developing a lexicon for icy ocean world seismology intended to be useful to both seismologists and planetary scientists. We use results from spectral-element simulations of broadband seismic wavefields to adapt seismological concepts to icy ocean worlds. We present a concise naming scheme for seismic waves and an overview of the features of the seismic wavefield on Europa, Titan, Ganymede and Enceladus. In close connection with geophysical interior models, we analyze simulated seismic measurements of Europa and Titan that might be used to constrain geochemical parameters governing the habitability of a sub-ice ocean.

One of the most crucial tasks in seismic reflection imaging is to identify the salt bodies with high precision. Traditionally, this is accomplished by visually picking the salt/sediment boundaries, which requires a great amount of manual work and may introduce systematic bias. With recent progress of deep learning algorithm and growing computational power, a great deal of efforts have been made to replace human effort with machine power in salt body interpretation. Currently, the method of Convolutional neural networks (CNN) is revolutionizing the computer vision field and has been a hot topic in the image analysis. In this paper, the benefits of CNN-based classification are demonstrated by using a state-of-art network structure U-Net, along with the residual learning framework ResNet, to delineate salt body with high precision. Network adjustments, including the Exponential Linear Units (ELU) activation function, the Lov{a}sz-Softmax loss function, and stratified $K$-fold cross-validation, have been deployed to further improve the prediction accuracy. The preliminary result using SEG Advanced Modeling (SEAM) data shows good agreement between the predicted salt body and manually interpreted salt body, especially in areas with weak reflections. This indicates the great potential of applying CNN for salt-related interpretations.
Inspired by recent work on extended image volumes that lays the ground for randomized probing of extremely large seismic wavefield matrices, we present a memory frugal and computationally efficient inversion methodology that uses techniques from rand omized linear algebra. By means of a carefully selected realistic synthetic example, we demonstrate that we are capable of achieving competitive inversion results at a fraction of the memory cost of conventional full-waveform inversion with limited computational overhead. By exchanging memory for negligible computational overhead, we open with the presented technology the door towards the use of low-memory accelerators such as GPUs.
We solve the problem of sparse signal deconvolution in the context of seismic reflectivity inversion, which pertains to high-resolution recovery of the subsurface reflection coefficients. Our formulation employs a nonuniform, non-convex synthesis spa rse model comprising a combination of convex and non-convex regularizers, which results in accurate approximations of the l0 pseudo-norm. The resulting iterative algorithm requires the proximal average strategy. When unfolded, the iterations give rise to a learnable proximal average network architecture that can be optimized in a data-driven fashion. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach through numerical experiments on synthetic 1-D seismic traces and 2-D wedge models in comparison with the benchmark techniques. We also present validations considering the simulated Marmousi2 model as well as real 3-D seismic volume data acquired from the Penobscot 3D survey off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada.
Seismic full-waveform inversion (FWI), which uses iterative methods to estimate high-resolution subsurface models from seismograms, is a powerful imaging technique in exploration geophysics. In recent years, the computational cost of FWI has grown ex ponentially due to the increasing size and resolution of seismic data. Moreover, it is a non-convex problem and can encounter local minima due to the limited accuracy of the initial velocity models or the absence of low frequencies in the measurements. To overcome these computational issues, we develop a multiscale data-driven FWI method based on fully convolutional networks (FCN). In preparing the training data, we first develop a real-time style transform method to create a large set of synthetic subsurface velocity models from natural images. We then develop two convolutional neural networks with encoder-decoder structure to reconstruct the low- and high-frequency components of the subsurface velocity models, separately. To validate the performance of our data-driven inversion method and the effectiveness of the synthesized training set, we compare it with conventional physics-based waveform inversion approaches using both synthetic and field data. These numerical results demonstrate that, once our model is fully trained, it can significantly reduce the computation time, and yield more accurate subsurface velocity models in comparison with conventional FWI.
