Abstract Abstract  Near surface seismic imaging bears a high potential to enhance geotechnical site characterization. We highlight recent advances made in S-wave tomography for characterizing near surface unconsolidated sediments. This comprises progress in experimental setup and acquisition technology for local scale S-wave tomogra- phy. We discuss the development of mobile seismic crosshole tomography solely building on temporary installations realized by direct push technology as well as a modular borehole geophone chain suitable for operation in shallow and slim near surface boreholes. These technical developments are accompanied by progress in geophysical model generation, i.e., fully non-linear inversion strategies suitable for routine application and model uncertainty appraisal. We link S-wave and P-wave tomographic models to
geotechnical target parameters and evaluate recent develop- ments made for high resolution ground-truthing using direct push technology for geotechnical and stratigraphic analyses. To be able to provide improved regional scale seismic properties we advanced the Rayleigh wave based imaging of S-wave velocity variations using diffusive wavefield theory for modeling the full microtremor H/V spectral ratio for receivers at the surface and in depth.
