Full waveform inversion allows the seismologist to utilize an entire waveform and all the information it contains to help image the 3-D structure of the interior of the earth. This report summarizes the basic theory that has been developed in full waveform seismic inversion, primarily related to computation of sensitivity kernels. It then describes the implementation of this theory using Sandia Geophysics Department's Parelasti code, a 3-D full waveform elastic simulation algorithm. Finally, the code is validated using synthetics from simple homogeneous elastic earth models.
