  "term": "Iterative forward modeling",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A method for determining subsurface properties by repeatedly adjusting a geological model and calculating its theoretical response until it matches observed data. This process begins with an initial model, generates a synthetic response, compares it to actual measurements, and then modifies the model based on the discrepancies. The iteration continues until a satisfactory fit between the synthetic and observed data is achieved, often within a predefined tolerance.",
