Abstract

Surface-wave dispersion characteristics of the subsurface are used to invert for the S-wave velocity structure. On the other hand, the dispersion characteristics can already give some information about anomalies in the subsurface with a minimal amount of processing. We investigate quick scanning to find anomalies in the S-wave velocity structure by analysing the dispersion characteristics along a seismic line. In order to extract lateral information, we use a moving window and transform the traces in each window into the frequency-phase velocity domain. This is first applied to synthetic data with both a positive- and negative-velocity anomaly. With our results, we show how some basic characteristics of the anomaly can be seen and how a larger window removes more lateral information. We apply the methodology to field data, and show that multiple anomalies can be identified.
