Journal ArticleDOI
Occam's inversion; a practical algorithm for generating smooth models from electromagnetic sounding data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a smoothest model which fits the data to within an expected tolerance for the inversion of both magnetotelluric and Schlumberger sounding field data.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Rapid Calculation of Potential Anomalies
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown how a series of Fourier transforms can be used to calculate the magnetic or gravitational anomaly caused by an uneven, non-uniform layer of material.
Book
Geophysical Inverse Theory
TL;DR: In this article, the Dilogarithm function is used for 1-norm Misfits in linear problems with exact and uncertain data and nonlinear problems with uncertain data.
Journal ArticleDOI
The North Pacific: an Example of Tectonics on a Sphere
Dan McKenzie,Robert L. Parker +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the paving stone theory of world tectonics is applied to slip vectors and applied to about a quarter of the Earth's surface, showing that the paving stones theory applies to about half of the surface of the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding Inverse Theory
TL;DR: In the field of geophysics, the concept of geo-physical inverse theory as discussed by the authors has been proposed to determine the parameters from the observations or, in the face of the inevitable limitations of actual measurement, to find out as much as possible about them.
