The increasing incidence of MRSA infections demands a quick and reliable characterization of isolates and investiga...

We present an original method for estimating local shear wave birefringence properties for 3D surface P to S converted waves. To accomplish this we approach the problem using reverse VSP (RVSP). The method works in the pre-stack domain and uses the P waves converted to S as shear wave sources. We solve the transmission problem using the propagator matrix method. The importance of this method is...
