Comparison of straight and curved-ray surface wave tomography at near-surface scale: A 3d numerical example

Surface Wave Tomography (SWT) is used to build shear-wave velocity models. In some studies, it is assumed that surface waves propagation follows a straight line between the source and the receiver. This assumption might be violated in near-surface studies because of high level of complexity and lateral heterogeneity. In curved-ray SWT, the...

Direct Data Transform for Em Sounding Interpretation

Over the last years, new techniques are being researched in order directly estimate relevant geological properties of the rocks present in the subsurface without using an inversion process, this can be achieved by obtaining relationships between the data obtained by geophysical surveys and the data obtained in one place by well logging, core...

Joint Inversion of Surface Wave Tomography and Body Wave Tomography Applied to 2D Media

Surface Wave Tomography is used to obtain a shear wave velocity model by inverting computed dispersion curves. Body Wave Tomography is used to obtain a longitudinal wave model through travel time inversion of picked first break travel times. Individual inversions suffer from various different limitations. Joint surface and body wave tomography...
