| Abstract | Geophysicists collect many data sets that are sensitive to variations in the physical properties of buried rocks. These properties include density, seismic velocity, electrical conductivity, and magnetization, which can reveal the geology of Earth’s crust and mantle, as well as buried mineral, energy, and water resources. Computational methods can be built to simulate the data one would observe from a given physical model, called the “forward” problem. However, scientists need to run the process |
