Seismic travel time tomography is a geophysical imaging method to infer the 3-D interior structure of the solid Earth. Most commonly formulated as a linear(ized) inverse problem, it maps differences between observed and expected wave travel times to interior regions where waves propagate faster or slower than the expected average. The Earth's...

We attempt the reconstruction of the solid earth's interior three-dimensional structure using seismic wave observations. The interior structure of the mantle deviates moderately from spherically symmetrical reference models and therefore seismological observables also vary moderately from spherically symmetrical predictions. Hence we consider...
