dc.description.abstract	The problem of fitting a material property of the earth to a certain model by analysing a returned seismic signal is investigated here. Analysis proceeds with methods taken from the theory of inverse problems. Seismic wave inversion is tack- led by minimisation of the objective function with respect to the model parameters. Absorbing boundary conditions are implemented using an exponentially decaying ansatz.	en
