Multiwave Inversion: a key step for depth model building - examples from the Sultanate of Oman

The near surface in the Middle East is characterized by the presence of very shallow fast carbonates and anhydrites interleaved by slow-velocity clastic layers, resulting in sharp velocity inversions. We present here examples from two case studies in the Sultanate of Oman using Multi-Wave Inversion to retrieve the near-surface velocity model.
