    Abstract: Recorded seismic data are obtained at a plurality of receivers from a plurality of sources, and a set of sources from the plurality of sources is selected using spatial criteria based on a location of each source such that any two sources in the set of sources are separated by a predefined minimum distance of separation sufficient to reduce cross talk between sources. The set of sources is combined in a non-encoded manner into a composite source, and forward modeling for the composite source is performed to generate a synthetic seismic data set. A composite recorded seismic data set for the set of sources is determined, and the synthetic seismic data set and composite recorded seismic data set are used to determine a residual seismic data set. Backward modeling generates a gradient update used to generate an updated earth model.

    Abstract: An Earth model of a subsurface is created from acquired seismic data by migrating at least one of the incident wavefields and reflected wavefields to generate angle gathers for the seismic data and identifying for the subsurface an elastic Earth model equation for the incident wavefields and the reflected wavefields in the acquired seismic data. The elastic Earth model is a function of reflection angle between the incident wavefields and reflected wavefields and elastic parameters and is fit to the generated angle gathers through perturbation in the elastic parameters. The generated perturbations are used to create the Earth model of the subsurface.
