    In this paper we use nonlinear least squares theory and the Levenberg- Marquardt method of solution, to invert in the time domain, full wavefield observations for two dimensional acoustic velocity variation. The singular value decomposition of the linearized problems' Jacobian allows for the determination of the portions of parameter space that have been well or poorly resolved. Numerical examples are given.
