We consider forward seismic wave propagation in an inhomogeneous linear viscoelastic media with random wave speed subjected to deterministic boundary and initial conditions. Considering random wave speed correspond to the inclusion of inherent uncertainty of the Earth parameters. We propose multilevel Monte Carlo simulation for computing statistics of some given quantities of interest. In this poster, we will present a case study from Tanzania to quantify uncertainty in Earth's parameters. This work provides a benchmark for the implementation of Multilevel algorithms to accelerate Seismic Inversion addressing earthquake source estimation as well as inferring Earth structure.Sponsors
