In the pursuit of increasingly accurate seismic event modeling, incorporating anisotropy is
critical for accurately describing the Earth’s subsurface structure. This thesis explores the
Instantaneous Time Mirror (ITM) method for numerical wave reversal in anisotropic media,
implemented within the open-source simulation software SeisSol. The study analyzes seismic
waves in both forward and backward directions, achieving wave refocusing under varying
velocity conditions to recreate the initial source event. The ITM approach is validated against
benchmarks and applied in a real-world context around Mount Zugspitze.
