These research tools are useful for\u00a0full\u00a0waveform modeling and inversion of the seismic wave-field. The capabilities to visualize wave-field propagation in complex media is also a very great tool for teaching. Students get to see how the seismic wave field propagates through elastic media with various scales of complexity.
