    Abstract: A method for seismic imaging of a subsurface using a full waveform inversion, FWI, includes the steps of obtaining an initial P-velocity model that describes how a seismic wave propagates through the subsurface, generating an S-velocity model based on the initial P-velocity model, generating an elastic synthetic dataset p based on the initial P-velocity model and the S-velocity model, receiving a recorded seismic dataset d of the subsurface, updating the P-velocity model based on a comparison between the synthetic dataset p and the recorded seismic dataset d, updating a reflectivity at various locations in the subsurface based on the updated P-velocity model, and generating an image of the subsurface based on the reflectivity.
