Course Objectives		Reasonable interpretation of geophysical data can be accomplished with reasonable earth model. The earth model produced from the geophysical measurements is called inverse model that has been commonly used in all disciplins in geophysics. The primary purpose is to have students to gain ability for constructing an inverse model, and obtain an estimate of the model parameters that are optimum and feasible. This course will have the graduate and doctorate students to form a advanced background for inverse techniques
Course Description		Modeling problems in geophysics, determining the model parameters, difficulties for the parameter estimations, forward and invers models. Definition of the inverse model, understanding the noise and its probability distributions in the geophysical measurements, linear invers solution, generalized inverse solutions for liear problems, maximum likelihood solution, uniqueness and non-uniqueness of the inverse solution, non-linear inverse model solutions, and simple inverse models.
Course Outcomes		M.Sc./Ph.D. students who successfully pass this course gain knowledge, skill and competency in the following subjects; 1. Developing and intensifying knowledge about linear algebra and computing skills in the undergraduate level and understanding of importance of inter-disciplinary interaction related to these subjects (~ JFM-MSc-Program Outcome-1-KNOWLEDGE) 2. The ability to analyse, synthesize and interpret new and complex problems that can be solved using inversion techniques by using a systematic approach and use new methods and advanced skills in geophysical data acquisition, processing and interpretation steps for the solution of these problems, and apply a conventional idea, methods, design and/or process to a different region (~ JFM-MSc-Program Outcome-2-SKILL). 5. The ability to examine the previous studies geophysical engineering and make their critical review and bring new suggestions (~ JFM-MSc- Program Outcome- 5, COMMUNICATION, SOCIAL AND AREA SPECIFIC COMPETENCY).
