Abstract
P- and S-wave velocity distributions obtained from DSS measurement have been used as a constraint in the inversion of surface-wave dispersion data. The combined interpretation was made as an attempt to enhance the resulting velocity models and to test the possibility to draw conclusions about the density distribution. The result indicates a potential value of a combined interpretation but it is obvious that very accurate velocity distributions are needed. The achieved density distribution is in good agreement with reported densities derived from gravimetric studies.
