Introduction

As for any measurement of physical properties, seismic data are contaminated with a large variety of noise sources. This noise comes in different flavors and complexities that require careful and specific treatment at different stages of the processing workflow. This thesis addresses the problem of noise attenuation of seismic data using inversion, thus preserving as well as possible the integrity of the signal.
