Features: This book systematically introduces the widely applied linear inversion theory and the emerging nonlinear inversion methods in geophysics. The book is divided into five chapters: Chapter 1: Introduction to Linear Inversion Theory; Chapter 2: Minimum Length Solutions for Parameterized Models; Chapter 3: Generalized Inversion Methods; Chapter 4: Backus-Gilbert Inversion Theory; Chapter 5: Nonlinear Inversion Methods. The first four chapters belong to linear inversion theory, while the fifth chapter briefly introduces some commonly used nonlinear inversion techniques. The book provides mathematical derivations of various inversion methods as well as physical concept analysis, making it easy to understand and master. It has strong theoretical and practical value, making it suitable for graduate and undergraduate students in geophysical exploration and technology, as well as science and technology personnel and researchers working in geophysics, geochemistry, mathematical geology, remote sensing, and related fields.
