	abstract = {As a society, we are faced with important challenges to combat climate change. Geological Carbon Storage (GCS), during which gigatonnes of super-critical CO2 are stored underground, is arguably the only scalable net-negative CO2-emission technology that is available. While promising, subsurface complexities and heterogeneity of reservoir properties demand a systematic approach to quantify uncertainty when optimizing production and mitigating storage risks, which include assurances of Containment and Conformance of injected supercritical CO2. As a first step towards the design and implementation of a Digital Twin for monitoring and control of underground storage operations, a machine-learning-based data-assimilation framework is introduced and validated on carefully designed realistic numerical simulations. Because our implementation is based on Bayesian inference, but does not yet support control and decision-making, we coin our approach an uncertainty-aware Digital Shadow. To characterize the posterior distribution for the state of CO2 plumes (its CO2 concentration and pressure), conditioned on multi-modal time-lapse data, the envisioned Shadow combines techniques from Simulation-Based Inference (SBI) and Ensemble Bayesian Filtering to establish probabilistic baselines and assimilate multi-modal data for GCS problems that are challenged by large degrees of freedom, nonlinear multiphysics, non-Gaussianity, and computationally expensive to evaluate fluid-flow and seismic simulations. To enable SBI for dynamic systems, a recursive scheme is proposed where the Digital Shadow{\textquoteright}s neural networks are trained on simulated ensembles for their state and observed data (well and/or seismic). Once training is completed, the system{\textquoteright}s state is inferred when time-lapse field data becomes available. Contrary to ensemble Kalman filtering, corrections to the predicted simulated states are not based on linear updates, but instead follow during the Analysis step of Bayesian filtering from a prior-to-posterior mapping through the latent space of a nonlinear transform. Starting from a probabilistic model for the permeability field, derived from a baseline surface-seismic survey, the proposed Digital Shadow is validated on unseen simulated ground-truth time-lapse data. In this computational study, we observe that a lack of knowledge on the permeability field can be factored into the Digital Shadow{\textquoteright}s uncertainty quantification. Our results also indicate that the highest reconstruction quality is achieved when the state of the CO2 plume is conditioned on both time-lapse seismic data and wellbore measurements. Despite the incomplete knowledge of the permeability field, the proposed Digital Shadow was able to accurately track the unseen physical state of the subsurface throughout the duration of a realistic CO2 injection project. To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the first proof-of-concept of an uncertainty-aware, in-principle scalable, Digital Shadow that captures the uncertainty arising from unknown reservoir properties and noisy observations. This framework provides a foundation for the development of a Digital Twin aimed at mitigating risks and optimizing the management of underground storage projects.},

	abstract = {Geological carbon storage represents one of the few truly scalable technologies capable of reducing the CO$_2$ concentration in the atmosphere. While this technology has the potential to scale, its success hinges on our ability to mitigate its risks. An important aspect of risk mitigation concerns assurances that the injected CO$_2$ remains within the storage complex. Amongst the different monitoring modalities, seismic imaging stands out with its ability to attain high resolution and high fidelity images. However, these superior features come, unfortunately, at prohibitive costs and time-intensive efforts potentially rendering extensive seismic monitoring undesirable. To overcome this shortcoming, we present a methodology where time-lapse images are created by inverting non-replicated time-lapse monitoring data jointly. By no longer insisting on replication of the surveys to obtain high fidelity time-lapse images and differences, extreme costs and time-consuming labor are averted. To demonstrate our approach, hundreds of noisy time-lapse seismic datasets are simulated that contain imprints of regular CO$_2$ plumes and irregular plumes that leak. These time-lapse datasets are subsequently inverted to produce time-lapse difference images used to train a deep neural classifier. The testing results show that the classifier is capable of detecting CO$_2$ leakage automatically on unseen data and with a reasonable accuracy.},

Once trained, FNOs can achieve speed-ups of multiple orders of magnitude over conventional numerical PDE solvers. However, due to the high dimensionality of their input data and network weights, FNOs have so far only been applied to two-dimensional or small three-dimensional problems. To remove this limited problem-size barrier, we propose a model-parallel version of FNOs based on domain-decomposition of both the input data and network weights. We demonstrate that our model-parallel FNO is able to predict time-varying PDE solutions of over 2.6 billion variables on Perlmutter using up to 512 A100 GPUs and show an example of training a distributed FNO on the Azure cloud for simulating multiphase CO2 dynamics in the Earth{\textquoteright}s subsurface.},

	abstract = {Solving multiphysics-based inverse problems for geological carbon storage monitoring can be challenging when multimodal time-lapse data are expensive to collect and costly to simulate numerically. We overcome these challenges by combining computationally cheap learned surrogates with learned constraints. Not only does this combination lead to vastly improved inversions for the important fluid-flow property, permeability, it also provides a natural platform for inverting multimodal data including well measurements and active-source time-lapse seismic data. By adding a learned constraint, we arrive at a computationally feasible inversion approach that remains accurate. This is accomplished by including a trained deep neural network, known as a normalizing flow, which forces the model iterates to remain in-distribution, thereby safeguarding the accuracy of trained Fourier neural operators that act as surrogates for the computationally expensive multiphase flow simulations involving partial differential equation solves. By means of carefully selected experiments, centered around the problem of geological carbon storage, we demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed constrained optimization method on two different data modalities, namely time-lapse well and time-lapse seismic data. While permeability inversions from both these two modalities have their pluses and minuses, their joint inversion benefits from either, yielding valuable superior permeability inversions and CO2 plume predictions near, and far away, from the monitoring wells.},

	abstract = {Subsurface-offset gathers play an increasingly important role in seismic imaging. These gathers are used during velocity model building and inversion of rock properties from amplitude variations. While powerful, these gathers come with high computational and storage demands to form and manipulate these high dimensional objects. This explains why only limited numbers of image gathers are computed over a limited offset range. We avoid these high costs by working with highly compressed low-rank factorizations. We arrive at these factorizations via a combination of probings with the double two-way wave equation and randomized singular value decompositions. In turn, the resulting factorizations give us access to all subsurface offsets without having to form the full extended image volumes. The latter is computationally prohibitive because extended image volumes are quadratic in image size. As a result, we can easily handle situations where conventional horizontal offset gathers are no longer focused. More importantly, the factorization also provides a mechanism to use the invariance relation of extended image volumes for velocity continuation. With this technique, extended image volumes for one background velocity model can directly be mapped to those of another background velocity model. Our low-rank factorization inherits this invariance property so we incur factorization costs only once when examining different imaging scenarios. Because all imaging experiments only involve the factors, they are computationally cheap with costs that scale with the rank of the factorization. We validate our methodology on 2D synthetics including a challenging imaging example with salt. Our experiments show that our low-rank factorization parameterizes extended image volumes naturally. Instead of brute force explicit cross-correlations between shifted source and receiver wavefields, our approach relies on the underlying linear-algebra structure that enables us to work with these objects without incurring unfeasible demands on computation and storage.},

However, when applied to realistic imaging problems, this approach is faced with issues related to overfitting and excessive computational costs induced by many wave-equation solves. The fact that the source function is unknown complicates this situation even further. Motivated by recent results in stochastic optimization and transform-domain sparsity-promotion, we demonstrate that the computational costs of inversion can be reduced significantly while avoiding imaging artifacts and restoring amplitudes. While powerfull, these new approaches do require accurate information on the source-time function, which is often lacking. Without this information, the imaging quality deteriorates rapidly. We address this issue by presenting an approach where the source-time function is estimated on the fly through a technique known as variable projection. Aside from introducing negligible computational overhead, the proposed method is shown to perform well on imaging problems with noisy data and problems that involve complex settings such as salt. In either case, the presented method produces high resolution high-amplitude fidelity images including an estimates for the source-time function. In addition, due to its use of stochastic optimization, we arrive at these images at roughly one to two times the cost of conventional reverse time migration involving all data.},

	abstract = {Planar waves events recorded in a seismic array can be represented as lines in the Fourier domain. However, in the real-world seismic events usually have curvature or amplitude variability that means their Fourier transforms are no longer strictly linear, but rather occupy conic regions of the Fourier domain that are narrow at low frequencies, but broaden at high frequencies where the effect of curvature becomes more pronounced. One can consider these regions as localised "signal cones". In this work, we consider a space-time variable signal cone to model the seismic data. The variability of the signal cone is obtained through scaling, slanting and translation of the kernel for cone-limited (C-limited) functions (functions whose Fourier transform lives within a cone) or C-Gaussian function (a multivariate function whose Fourier transform decays exponentially with respect to slowness and frequency) which constitutes our dictionary. We find a discrete number of scaling, slanting and translation parameters from a continuum by optimally matching the data. This is a nonlinear optimization problem which we address by a fixed point method which utilizes a variable projection method with e1 constraints on the linear parameters and bound constraints on the nonlinear parameters. We observe that slow decay and oscillatory behavior of the kernel for C-limited functions constitute bottlenecks for the optimization problem which we partially overcome by the C-Gaussian function. We demonstrate our method through an interpolation example. We present the interpolation result using the estimated parameters obtained from the proposed method and compare it with those obtained using sparsity promoting curvelet decomposition, matching pursuit Fourier interpolation and sparsity promoting plane wave decomposition methods.},

This low dimensional structure often arises because the data matrix is obtained by sampling a smooth function on a regular (or structured) grid. However, in many practical situations the measurements are taken on an irregular grid (that is accurately known). This results in an "unstructured data matrix" that is less fit for the low rank model in comparison to its regular counterpart and therefore subject to degraded reconstruction via rank penalization techniques. In this paper, we propose and analyze a modified low-rank matrix recovery work-flow that admits unstructured observations. By incorporating a regularization operator which accurately maps structured data to unstructured data, into the nuclear-norm minimization problem, we are able to compensate for data irregularity. Furthermore, by construction our formulation yields output that is supported on a structured grid.

We use these correlations to define a sequence of 2D curvelet-based recovery problems that exploit 3D continuity exhibited by seismic wavefields without relying on the highly redundant 3D curvelet transform. To test the performance of our weighted algorithm, we compared recoveries from different data sorting and partitioning scenarios for a seismic line from the Gulf of Suez.

	abstract = {We study recovery conditions of weighted $\ell_1$ minimization for signal reconstruction from compressed sensing measurements when partial support information is available. We show that if at least 50\% of the (partial) support information is accurate, then weighted $\ell_1$ minimization is stable and robust under weaker sufficient conditions than the analogous conditions for standard $\ell_1$ minimization. Moreover, weighted $\ell_1$ minimization provides better upper bounds on the reconstruction error in terms of the measurement noise and the compressibility of the signal to be recovered. We illustrate our results with extensive numerical experiments on synthetic data and real audio and video signals.},

	abstract = {In this note, we address the theoretical properties of $\Delta_p$, a class of compressed sensing decoders that rely on $l^p$ minimization with $p \in (0,1)$ to recover estimates of sparse and compressible signals from incomplete and inaccurate measurements. In particular, we extend the results of Cand{\textquoteleft}es, Romberg and Tao [3] and Wojtaszczyk [30] regarding the decoder $\Delta_1$, based on $\ell^1$ minimization, to $Δp$ with $p \in (0,1)$. Our results are two-fold. First, we show that under certain sufficient conditions that are weaker than the analogous sufficient conditions for $\Delta_1$ the decoders $\Delta_p$ are robust to noise and stable in the sense that they are $(2,p)$ instance optimal. Second, we extend the results of Wojtaszczyk to show that, like $\Delta_1$, the decoders $\Delta_p$ are (2,2) instance optimal in probability provided the measurement matrix is drawn from an appropriate distribution. While the extension of the results of [3] to the setting where $p \in (0,1)$ is straightforward, the extension of the instance optimality in probability result of [30] is non-trivial. In particular, we need to prove that the $LQ_1$ property, introduced in [30], and shown to hold for Gaussian matrices and matrices whose columns are drawn uniformly from the sphere, generalizes to an $LQ_p$ property for the same classes of matrices. Our proof is based on a result by Gordon and Kalton [18] about the Banach-Mazur distances of p-convex bodies to their convex hulls.},

	abstract = {Successful removal of coherent noise sources greatly determines the quality of seismic imaging. Major advances were made in this direction, e.g., Surface-Related Multiple Elimination (SRME) and interferometric ground-roll removal. Still, moderate phase, timing, amplitude errors and clutter in the predicted signal components can be detrimental. Adopting a Bayesian approach along with the assumption of approximate curvelet-domain independence of the to-be-separated signal components, we construct an iterative algorithm that takes the predictions produced by for example SRME as input and separates these components in a robust fashion. In addition, the proposed algorithm controls the energy mismatch between the separated and predicted components. Such a control, which was lacking in earlier curvelet-domain formulations, produces improved results for primary-multiple separation on both synthetic and real data.},
