The seismic data driven inverse problem estimates the earth parameters from data collected on the earth surface and subject to known constraints. In this poster paper, a process of Monte Carlo (MC) parameter modeling is described. These model parameters are then used to compute travel times to earth reflectors. The non-linear Eikonal partial differential equation is solved for travel time contours using a level set scheme. The data travel times are then compared to the model times, and as the model evolves from the stochastic process the data fit is improved. The MC and Eikonal algorithm process is reviewed and model studies are presented for an elastic earth.
