Applying seismic-inversion techniques developed for the Sun to terrestrial geophysics — a secondary research area.
The mathematical methods that enable helioseismic discoveries — finite-frequency sensitivity kernels, Born approximations, adjoint inversion — translate directly to seismic tomography of Earth's mantle and core. Applying methods developed for stellar physics to the solid Earth opens productive cross-disciplinary conversations.
This is a minor research area for the group. The work focuses on normal-mode coupling for deep-Earth structure, noise cross-correlation theory, and renormalization-group approaches to the wave equation in heterogeneous media.
