“…Of the various geophysical methods, seismic reflections generally offer a good resolution to study the shallow fault zones (e.g., Woolery et al, 1993;Benson and Mustoe, 1995;Floyd et al, 2001;Williams et al, 2001;Sugiyama et al, 2003;Wang et al, 2004;Harris, 2009;. In case of soft soils, S-waves generally offer better results than P-waves not only because of the higher resolution due to much lower velocity and hence smaller wavelengths, but also owing to a greater sensitivity of S-waves to the subtle changes in the soil type or composition (e.g., Brouwer et al, 1997;Ghose and Goudswaard, 2004;Ghose, 2012). The vast majority of previous studies involving shallow seismic reflections to illuminate a fault zone relied on detecting a displacement in one or more reflection horizons due to faulting, generally observed in the stacked section.…”
