	abstract = {Many of the seismic inversion techniques currently proposed that focus on robustness with respect to the background model choice are not apt to large-scale 3D applications, and the methods that are computationally feasible for industrial problems, such as full waveform inversion, are notoriously limited by convergence stagnation and require adequate starting models. We propose a novel solution that is both scalable and less sensitive to starting models or inaccurate parameters (such as anisotropy) that are typically kept fixed during inversion. It is based on a dual reformulation of the classical wavefield reconstruction inversion, whose empirical robustness with respect to these issues is well documented in the literature. While the classical version is not suited to 3D, as it leverages expensive frequency-domain solvers for the wave equation, our proposal allows the deployment of state-of-the-art time-domain finite-difference methods, and is potentially mature for industrial-scale problems.},

	abstract = {Microseismic data is often used to locate fracture locations and their origin in time created by fracking. Although surface microseismic data can have large apertures and is easier to acquire than the borehole data, it often suffers from poor signal to noise ratio (S/R). Poor S/R poses a challenge in terms of estimating the correct location and source-time function of a microseismic source. In this work, we propose a denoising step in combination with a computationally cheap debiasing based approach to locate microseismic sources and to estimate their source-time functions with correct amplitude from extremely noisy data. Through numerical experiments, we demonstrate that our method can work with closely spaced microseismic sources with source-time functions of different peak amplitudes and frequencies. We have also shown the ability of our method with the smooth velocity model.},

	abstract = {Photoacoustics has emerged as a high-contrast imaging modality that provides optical absorption maps inside of tissues, therefore complementing morphological information of conventional ultrasound. The laser-generated photoacoustic waves are usually envelope-detected, thus disregarding the specific waveforms generated by each photoabsorber. Here we propose a sparsity-promoting image reconstruction method that allows the estimation of each photoabsorber{\textquoteright}s source-time function. Preliminary studies showed the ability to reconstruct the optical absorption map of an in silico vessel phantom. By using a sparsity-promoting imaging method, absorption maps and source-time functions can still be recovered even in situations where the number of transducers is decreased by a factor of six. Moreover, the recovery is able to attain higher resolution than conventional beamforming methods. Because our method recovers the source-time function of the absorbers, it could potentially also be used to distinguish different types of photoabsorbers, or the degree of aggregation of exogenous agents, under the assumption that these would generate different source-time functions at the moment of laser irradiation.},

	abstract = {Sparsity promotion based joint microseismic source collocation and source time function estimation, using Linearized Bregman algorithm, although simple to implement, suffers from slow convergence. This is due to the fact that Linearized Bregman algorithm has only first order of convergence. In this work, we propose to accelerate the existing Linearized Bregman algorithm using the L-BFGS algorithm. Without any initial guess for the source location or source time function, our method is able to estimate the source location and source time function for kinematically correct smooth velocity model. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method for multiple sources spaced within half a wavelength. We also compare our results with Linearized Bregman based method in {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}2.5{\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}D instead of {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}2{\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}D.},

	abstract = {In this work, we propose a new method to simultaneously locate microseismic events (e.g., induced by hydraulic fracturing) and estimate the source signature of these events. We use the method of linearized Bregman. This algorithm focuses unknown sources at their true locations by promoting sparsity along space and at the same time keeping the energy along time in check. We are particularly interested in situations where the microseismic data is noisy, sources have different signatures and we only have access to the smooth background-velocity model. We perform numerical experiments to demonstrate the usability of the proposed method. We also compare our results with full-waveform inversion based microseismic event collocation methods. Our method gives flexibility to simultaneously get a more accurate source image along with an estimate of the source-time function, which carries important information on the rupturing process and source mechanism.},
