This overview article gives a picture of multichannel analysis of high-frequency surface
(Rayleigh and Love) waves developed mainly by research scientists at the Kansas …

High-frequency surface-wave methods have been widely used for surveying near-surface
shear-wave velocities. A key step in high-frequency surface-wave methods is to acquire …

The shear-wave (S-wave) velocity of near-surface materials (soil, rocks, pavement) and its
effect on seismic-wave propagation are of fundamental interest in many groundwater …

Passive seismic methods in highly populated urban areas have gained much attention from
geophysics and civil engineering communities because traditional seismic surveys …

Surface waves are widely used in near-surface geophysics and provide a noninvasive way
to determine near-surface structures. By extracting and inverting dispersion curves to obtain …

As theory dictates, for a series of horizontal layers, a pure, plane, horizontally polarized
shear (SH) wave refracts and reflects only SH waves and does not undergo wave-type …

Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is a novel seismic observation system developed in
recent years that can realize ultrahigh density observations and has attracted extensive …

The multichannel analysis of surface wave (MASW) method has been effectively and widely
used to determine near-surface shear-wave velocity. Horizontal resolution of the MASW …

Rayleigh waves have been used increasingly as an appealing tool to obtain near-surface
shear (S)-wave velocity profiles. However, inversion of Rayleigh wave dispersion curves is …

We present the theory for wave-equation inversion of dispersion curves, where the misfit
function is the sum of the squared differences between the wavenumbers along the …
