Advancing Seismic Imaging: Harnessing SBP-SAT for Reverse Time Migration of Wave Equation PDE in Earth Science
Safety & HazardsReverse time migration for wave equation PDE using SBP-SAT Reverse Time Migration (RTM) is a powerful seismic imaging technique widely used in exploration geophysics. It is used to create high-resolution images of subsurface structures by solving the wave equation Partial Differential Equation (PDE) backwards in time. This process involves the propagation of seismic waves from
The Threshold Event: Unraveling the Magnitude Required to Evoke a Prolonged Winter
Weather & ForecastsHow big an event does it take to trigger a long winter? As a geoscientist, I am often asked about the factors that can trigger a long winter and how significant an event would have to be to cause such a climatic shift. Winters are complex phenomena influenced by a variety of factors, including atmospheric
