“…This technique has been applied extensively in the geophysical literature (e.g., Bodin, Sambridge, Rawlinson, & Arroucau, ; Bodin, Sambridge, Tkalcic, et al, ; Kolb & Lekić, ; Muir & Tkalčić, ). This is an improvement on Grose et al () where the data are smoothed using a radial basis interpolation scheme and no specific assumptions are made about the noise in the data.…”
