What is MASW?

MASW (Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves) is a geophysical method used to determine the shear wave velocity (Vs) profile of the subsurface. It analyzes surface waves (specifically Rayleigh waves) generated by active or passive sources to infer the stiffness and density variations of the soil and rock layers. This information is commonly used for geotechnical site investigations, earthquake hazard assessment, and near-surface geological mapping.

MASW Complementary Technologies

High Precision GPS

No summary available

High Precision GPS can be used to accurately locate the MASW survey lines and geophones, providing essential spatial information for data processing and interpretation.

ERT

Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) provides information about the subsurface electrical resistivity distribution. It is complementary to MASW, as it provides different, yet related, information about subsurface characteristics.

GPR

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a complementary method for shallow subsurface imaging, providing high-resolution information on stratigraphy and features, which can be integrated with MASW velocity profiles.
