MASW: An Overview of Methods and Applications using Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Waves

What is Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) is a geophysical technique used for subsurface exploration. It focuses on measuring surface waves (specifically Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth’s surface to determine the shear wave velocity profile of the subsurface.  MASW is most often undertaken using a vehicle […]

Seismic Refraction Surveys: An Overview of Methods and Applications

What is Seismic Refraction  Seismic refraction is a geophysical method used to investigate the subsurface properties of the Earth by analysing how seismic waves travel through it. It relies on the principle that seismic waves change speed when they pass through different layers of material with varying densities and elastic properties. In this method, seismic […]
