Characterization of the sedimentary cover at the Himalayan foothills using active and passive seismic techniques

► Simultaneous use of active MASW and passive MASW and f-k method in the frontal part of Himalaya. ► Comparison of dispersion curves using different inversion techniques. ► Use of active and passive seismic method allow us to cover wide frequency band. ► Understanding thickness of sediments at any site has vital importance for site response computing. ► Combinations of methods provides resonance frequency, thickness of soil and Vs with depth.
