Seismic site characterization using broadband and DAS ambient vibration measurements on Mt Etna, Italy
… to be valuable tools to gain insight into local site effects by ambient noise measurements. Here, the two methods are employed to assess the subsurface velocity structure at the Piano delle Concazze area on Mt Etna. Volcanic tremor records from an array of 26 broadband seismometers is processed …

Seismic Site Characterization for the Deep Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) at Kimballton, Virginia
… facilities for long term study. To date, eight sites in North America have been proposed to host DUSEL. One of these sites, known as Kimballton, is located near Butt Mountain in Giles County in southwestern Virginia. Two seismic lines were acquired along the top of Butt Mountain in June of 2004 …

Seismic site characterization through joint modeling of complementary data functionals, with applications to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
We present a strategy for determining seismic "site characterization" through joint modeling of horizontal to vertical spectral ratios (HVSR) and surface wave dispersion, performed via refraction microtremor (ReMi). Fitting of data functionals by synthetics is driven by global optimization. The …

Seismic site characterization via joint modeling of horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios and surface wave dispersion : developing and validating a geophysical tool for deciphering Quaternary stratigraphic architecture of the Monahans dune field, West Texas.
… extensive borehole investigation. Shallow seismic techniques using Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratios (HVSR) and surface wave dispersion offer a cost-effective alternative to deciphering Quaternary architecture, but inverse models are subject to ambiguity and nonuniqueness. We jointly …

Geophysical assessment of soil and rock in the New Madrid seismic zone
… of two case studies: the first from a study site in Illinois and the second from a site in Arkansas. In both instances, geophysical investigations were conducted to characterize the subsurface. At the Illinois site, borehole control, downhole seismic (DHS), seismic refraction tomography (SRT) …
