f Determination of subface-wave dispersion characteristics in near-surface lateral inhomogeneous structures

The exploration of near-surface lateral inhomogeneous structures is an important talk for different applications. For example it is necessary to know the properties of the upper earth material to calculate static corrections in reflection seismics. Here the knowledge of the near-surface underground controls the quality of the image of the deeper structures. In other cases the near-surface underground directly is the target of exploration. Important examples are the search for waste sites and the investigation of the underground of waste deposits.
