	abstract = {Wavefield reconstruction inversion (WRI) is based on the combination of data misfit and PDE-residual penalty terms, and it aims at the reconstruction of the optimal property model and field pair. A full-space optimization would require the storage of field variables for every frequency or time sample (and every source). Remedies via variable projection are well studied, but they entail the solution of a modified wave equation, which is costly both in frequency and time domain. Here, we explore an efficient alternative to WRI, where properties are complemented, instead, by elements of the dual data space. The starting point of our proposal is the denoising reformulation of WRI: the PDE compliance is optimized under the constraint of a given data fit. Since the field variable can be eliminated from the associated saddle-point problem, we obtain a new objective functional of only properties and Lagrange multipliers. Its evaluation, and gradient computation, involves the solution of the original wave equation, which is amenable to time-domain discretization. The optimization scheme of choice can now leverage on affordable storage of the iterates.},

	abstract = {We illustrate a dual formulation for full-waveform inversion potentially apt to large 3-D problems. It is based on the optimization of the wave equation compliance, under the constraint of data misfit not exceeding a prescribed noise level. In the Lagrangian formulation, model and wavefield state variables are complemented with multipliers having the same dimension of data ("dual data" variables). Analogously to classical wavefield reconstruction inversion, the wavefield unknowns can be projected out in closed form, by solving a version of the augmented wave equation. This leads to a saddle-point problem whose variables are only model and dual data. As such, this formulation represents a model extension, and is potentially robust against local minima. The classical downsides of model extension methods and wavefield reconstruction inversion are here effectively mitigated: storage of the dual variables is affordable, the augmented wave equation is amenable to time-marching finite-difference schemes, and no continuation strategy for penalty parameters is needed, with the prospect of 3-D applications.},

	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 = {We propose a wave-equation-based subsurface inversion method that in many cases is more robust than the conventional Full-Waveform Inversion. The new formulation is written in a denoising form that allows the synthetic data to match the observed ones up to a small error. Compared to the Full-Waveform Inversion, our method treats the noise arising from the data measuring/recording process and that from the synthetic modelling process separately. Comparing to the Wavefields Reconstruction Inversion, the new formulation mitigates the difficulty of choosing the penalty parameter λ. To solve the proposed optimization problem, we develop an efficient frequency domain algorithm that alternatively updates the model and the data. Numerical experiments confirm strong stability of the proposed method by comparisons between the results of our algorithm with that from both plain FWI and a weighted formulation of the FWI.},

	abstract = {Previous FWI denoising techniques, such as source blending and stacking, are designed applied to the seismic traces. Hence no physical information is used to improve the fidelity of the reconstruction, even when a good initial model is available. Moreover, traditional source blending requires the existence of common source gathers, which might be missing from the data. In this talk, we incorporate the source blending idea into the penalty method, and extract the synthetic sources corresponding to the principle directions of the gradient update. By blending the sources, we can not only achieve an acceleration and storage efficiency of the penalty method, but also make the reconstruction more robust to the random noise. This method is applicable to any source receiver position but is more efficient if common source gathers are available.},
