ABSTRACT:
P-wave velocity in a near-surface region of a land area is estimated from a combination of seismic data based upon waves in the near-surface region generated in response to a shock in each of a plurality of upholes drilled in the land area and vibrator dynamic data generated in the near-surface region in response to vibrator action on the land area.
