Optimization Strategy for Shared Earth Modeling

P257 OPTIMIZATION STRATEGY FOR SHARED EARTH MODELING Summary An optimization strategy for shared earth models is presented and discussed. True shared earth models should be represented in a way independent to the input requirements of the forward algorithms applied. This implies that realization processes invoked on the model are necessary in order to make the model available for all possible forward methods. The same independency must be addressed in the construction of the joint objective function by transforming the individual objective functions before the misfit is evaluated. Introduction The need of integrating and incorporating different observation types for the definition
