AI-generated Abstract

This research develops a framework for improving time-lapse seismic imaging through the integration of temporal constraints in the inversion process. Traditional methods often treat datasets independently, leading to artifacts that obscure significant changes in subsurface properties. By employing a temporal regularization approach, the study demonstrates enhanced reconstruction of subsurface variations, particularly in the context of seismic monitoring for applications like CO2 sequestration and enhanced oil recovery. The findings suggest that balancing temporal and spatial resolution remains a critical aspect of future investigations.
