	abstract = {Neural operators have shown strong performance for PDE-solution learning; however, their effectiveness in PDE-constrained optimization, such as inversion, remains limited, in part because inaccurately learned derivatives can mislead gradient-based updates. Standard training typically optimizes only the forward least-squares fit, so during iterative inversion the optimization variable can drift outside the training distribution, further degrading quality of derivative information and inversion performance. To address this limitation, we propose a training algorithm designed for inversion: the surrogate is trained not only to predict forward outputs but also to learn observation-relevant gradients, which leads to Fisher-information directed parameter updates. We evaluate forward and gradient accuracy, as well as the inversion trajectory, on problems governed by PDEs{\textemdash}Darcy flow and laminar (incompressible) Navier{\textendash}Stokes{\textemdash}which are relevant to porous-media fluid flow and energy-storage applications. Our results suggest that training for gradient fidelity with forward accuracy unlocks a pathway to reliable, efficient, neural operator{\textendash}based inversion.},

	abstract = {While recent work has shown that conditional neural networks can be used to effectuate prior-to-posterior mappings during ensemble Kalman filtering, their accuracy relies on the quality of the training ensemble, consisting of the simulated time-advanced nonlinear state and possibly nonlinear observations. Its precision also depends on the generative neural networks{\textquoteright} ability to generalize. In this work, we will report progress on how to make our Digital Twin more robust with respect to distribution shifts and modeling errors, e.g. due to erroneous choices for the physics within the Forecast Step. To this end, we will follow a two-pronged approach consisting of augmenting the Forecast step, e.g. by including different models for the rock physics that map the Digital Twin{\textquoteright}s state to seismic properties, and by adding more physics during the prior-to-posterior mapping. In its current implementation, training of our Digital Twin{\textquoteright}s neural networks relies on relative low-fidelity amortization of the Forecast Ensemble, which is susceptible to distribution shifts. By conducting non-amortized inference informed by the physics and low-fidelity prior-to-posterior mapping, we propose an approach that is more robust than the current implementation of the Digital Twin.},

	abstract = {Monitoring CO 2  injected and stored in subsurface reservoirs is critical for avoiding failure scenarios and enables real-time optimization of CO 2  injection rates. Sequential Bayesian data assimilation (DA) is a statistical method for combining information over time from multiple sources to estimate a hidden state, such as the spread of the subsurface CO 2  plume. An example of scalable and efficient sequential Bayesian DA is the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF). We improve upon existing DA literature in the seismic-CO 2  monitoring domain by applying this scalable DA algorithm to a high-dimensional CO 2  reservoir using two-phase flow dynamics and time-lapse full waveform seismic data with a realistic surface-seismic survey design. We show more accurate estimates of the CO 2  saturation field using the EnKF compared to using either the seismic data or the fluid physics alone. Furthermore, we test a range of values for the EnKF hyperparameters and give guidance on their selection for seismic CO 2  reservoir monitoring.},

	abstract = {Arguably, Geological Carbon Storage constitutes the only truly scalable net-negative carbon emission technology. To mitigate its risks and optimize its operations, an uncertainty-aware Digital Twin is being developed. To leverage existing fluid-flow and seismic simulation and imaging capabilities, the envisioned twin combines techniques from sequential and simulation-based Bayesian inference to train its deep generative neural networks to draw samples from the posterior of the Digital Twin{\textquoteright}s state. Because these samples are conditioned on observed time-lapse field data, these twins are capable of capturing the dynamics of CO2 plumes and their uncertainty.},
