Outline of Final Research Achievements

Many inverse problems of earth science are underdetermined problems. These problems will be change well-pose problem with prior information, which use no reason of physical condition. In this study, we optimize estimated parameters using Monte Carlo method. We applied several studies, such as estimate under ground structure, slip distribution, seismic mechanism and etc. In addition, we show that the Monte Carlo method is very efficient using GPU calculation.
