Joint non-linear inversion of amplitudes and travel times in a vertical transversely isotropic medium using compressional and converted shear waves

Massive shales and fractures are the main cause of seismic anisotropy in the upper-most part of the crust, caused either by sedimentary or tectonic processes. Neglecting the effect of seismic anisotropy in seismic processing algorithms may incorrectly image the seismic reflectors. This will also inf...
