Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) to Estimate the Shear Wave Velocity for Engineering Characterization of Soils at Hawassa Town, Southern Ethiopia

International Journal of Geophysics, 2022
Site characterization is a prerequisite for the successful and economic design of engineering structures and earthworks by providing geological information for any proposed project. Until now, no detail study has been carried out on the site characterization and classification using shear wave velocity (Vs) up to the top 30 m depth in Hawassa town. For

Multi‐scale geophysical mapping of the brine and bedrock surfaces along the Dolores River, Paradox Valley, Colorado, December 2023

Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 36-49, February 2026.
Abstract Total dissolved solids derived from salt dome–sourced brine in the underlying alluvial aquifer substantially increase with distance in the reach of the Dolores River that passes through Paradox Valley in southwestern Colorado. The area has been the site of salinity control operations since the 1990s to reduce salt loading to the downstream ...

Assessing the Seismic Wavefield of a Wind Turbine Using Polarization Analysis [PDF]

, 2017
Ambient seismic noise can often be seen as problematic, but with the right analysis can act as a tool to image the Earth. Wind turbines are known to generate low frequency vibrations, however, the wave types that are generated are currently unknown ...

Evaluating Seismic Ambient Noise Techniques for Detecting Ice‐Bearing Rocks on the Moon

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract One of the primary objectives of upcoming lunar missions is to locate ice‐bearing rocks at the South Pole. While evidence for their presence exists, the exact distribution and quantity remain uncertain. In this study, we evaluate the potential of seismic ambient noise techniques—including seismic interferometry, H/V spectral ratios ...

Neural Machine Translation of Seismic Ambient Noise for Soil Nature and Water Saturation Characterization

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 13, 16 July 2025.
Abstract Soil nature and water saturation of the near‐surface directly influence land use resilience and sustainability in urban areas facing intense climate forcing and human activity. Seismic methods are widely applied in this context for subsurface characterization and monitoring, but often fall short in delivering joint geological, hydrogeological,

Application of Single-Station Sigma and Site-Response Characterization in a Probabilistic Seismic-Hazard Analysis for a New Nuclear Site [PDF]

, 2014
Aleatory variability in ground-motion prediction, represented by the standard deviation (sigma) of a ground-motion prediction equation, exerts a very strong influence on the results of probabilistic seismic-hazard analysis (PSHA).

Site Classification using Multichannel Channel Analysis of Surface Wave (MASW) method on Soft and Hard Ground

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2018
Site classification utilizing average shear wave velocity (Vs(30) up to 30 meters depth is a typical parameter. Numerous geophysical methods have been proposed for estimation of shear wave velocity by utilizing assortment of testing configuration, processing method, and inversion algorithm. Multichannel Analysis of Surface Wave (MASW) method is been
