Omar Ghattas, mechanical engineering professor at The University of Texas at Austin, authored a paper titled “A Newton-CG method for large-scale three-dimensional elastic full-waveform seismic inversion," which has been selected as a 2008 editorial board “highlight” of the journal Inverse Problems. Articles were selected based on their outstanding research and breakthroughs, clear exposition and beautiful presentation, as well as instructive quality. The articles in this collection were selected to showcase the diversity of the journal and are available to the public for reading until the end of this year at: http://herald.iop.org/IPhighlights/m44/avh//link/2659.
