Inversion for the Elastic Parameters of Layered Transversely Isotropic Media

In most cases of seismic processing and interpretation, elastic isotropy is assumed. However, velocity anisotropy is found to exist in most subsurface media. Hence, there exists a fundamental inconsistency between theory on the one hand, and practice on the other. If not recognised, this can invalid...
