Abstract: The achievement and new progress in joint inversion of geodetic and seismological data for seismic source rupture process in the recent decade are summarized in this paper.The models,algorithms and typical earthquake cases in joint inversion of geodetic and seismological data for seismic source rupture process are discussed.The establishment of joint inversion model with GPS,InSAR and seismological data considering prior information and with inequality constraints is discussed.The functions of various data,determination of relative weight ratio and application of global optimization algorithm are emphatically discussed.
