This was a successful conference and the proceedings represent a well rounded view of the state of the art in geophysical inversion of petroleum applications. The book is certainly an important contribution to geophysics inversion theory and a good reference work for those who are serious students of mathematical geophysics and its application to the solution of seismic inverse problems. A collection of papers on geophysical inversion containing current research and survey articles on where the field has been and where it's going, and what is practical and what isn't.
Topics covered include seismic tomography, migration, and inverse scattering.
