Simultaneous Anisotropic Tomography with Rock Physics Constraints - Gulf of Mexico Example

Simultaneously solving for velocity, epsilon, and delta in anisotropic tomography is very challenge. Surface seismic data only is not sufficient for this joint problem. In this work, a model covariance function was built using rock physics to constrain the joint anisotropic tomography. An example from Gulf of Mexico was presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.
