Significant topographic variations can strongly influence the amplitudes and phases of
propagating surface waves. Such effects should be taken into account, otherwise the S …

Seismic tomography has arrived at the threshold of the era of big data. However, how to
extract information optimally from every available time-series remains a challenge; one that …

Land seismic multiparameter full waveform inversion in anisotropic media is challenging
because of high medium contrasts and surface waves. With a data-residual least-squares …

To increase the feasibility of full waveform inversion on real data, we suggest a new
objective function, which is defined as the global correlation of the envelopes of modelled …

Irregular topography can cause strong scattering and defocusing of propagating surface
waves, so it is important to account for such effects when inverting surface waves for shallow …

Representing the earth as an elastic medium leads to a more accurate approximation of the
seismic response than can be obtained by assuming an acoustic medium. However, this …

In seismic tomography practices the Earth's surface is sometimes assumed to be either
spherical or flat for convenience in forward modelling calculations. The effect of irregular …

Integrating surface wave information is challenging for land seismic full waveform inversion
(FWI). Cycle-skipping of surface waves can easily occur due to their highly dispersive and …

Pinnacle bedrock topography presents major challenges when evaluating the design length
of deep foundation systems. Such topography is formed in rocks prone to dissolution by …

As interest in foundation reuse increases, there has been renewed emphasis on
methodologies to characterize existing foundations for determination of unknown geometry …
