Abstract

Next we present two novel exploration methods, thereby using the structure of a methodological circuit (as presented in Sect. 2.6), respectively. We start with inverse gravimetry, which becomes an increasing importance, e.g., in geothermal research. Then we go over to a standard technique in geoexploration, namely reflection seismics, for which a “mollifier inversion procedure” similar to the approach in gravimetry will be developed.
