	abstract = {The prestack image volume can be defined as a cross- correlation of the source and receivers wavefields for non-zero space and time lags. If the background velocity is kinemati- cally acceptable, this image volume will have its main contributions at zero lag, even for complex models. Thus, it is an ideal tool for wave-equation migration velocity analysis in the presence of strong lateral heterogeneity. In particular, it allows us to pose migration velocity analysis as a PDE-constrained optimization problem, where the goal is to minimize the energy in the image volume at non-zero lag subject to fitting the data approximately. However, it is computationally infeasi- ble to explicitly form the whole image volume. In this paper, we discuss several ways to reduce the computational costs involved in computing the image volume and evaluating the focusing criterion. We reduce the costs for calculating the data by randomized source synthesis. We also present an efficient way to subsample the image volume. Finally, we propose an alternative optimization criterion and suggest a multiscale inversion strategy for wave-equation MVA.},

	abstract = {Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a computational procedure to extract medium parameters from seismic data. Robust methods for FWI are needed to overcome sensitivity to noise and in cases where modeling is particularly poor or far from the real data generating process. We survey previous robust methods from a statistical perspective, and use this perspective to derive a new robust method by assuming the random errors in our model arise from the Student{\textquoteright}s t-distribution. We show that in contrast to previous robust methods, the new method progres- sively down-weighs large outliers, effectively ignoring them once they are large enough. This suggests that the new method is more robust and suitable for situations with very poor data quality or modeling. Experiments show that the new method recovers as well or better than previous robust methods, and can recover models with quality comparable to standard methods on noise-free data when some of the data is completely corrupted, and even when a marine acquisition mask is entirely ignored in the modeling. The ability to ignore a marine acquisition mask via robust FWI methods offers an opportunity for stochastic optimization methods in marine acquisition.},
