What is an inverse problem?
An inverse problem arises when observable data only indirectly constrain properties or processes of interest. In the Earth Sciences we use data to answer questions about the Earth where it is inaccessible to direct observation, e.g. about properties at depth, or processes in the past.
What is Data Inference?
This is the general name given to the process of extracting information from observations. All scientific fields make use of this process to varying degrees. Observations can be noisy, inconsistent and incomplete and yet we want to draw robust answers to our questions.

Let us know
iEarth is a forum for people to learn, challenge and inform about inversion methods and practice. If you have a project or are planning one involving some aspect of inversion, please download the form below and tell us about it. We will include your information on the iEarth website project page and create a specific project page for your material. This is intended as an information source for the iEarth community.
