Abstract
Shear wave velocities were computed for surficial, glacio-marine sediments of the Barents Sea using three methods; Hamilton’s equations, the Biot-Stoll model, and the Bryan-Stoll model. Comparisons are made between the model predictions and thein situdata. The predictions from the Biot-Stoll and the Bryan-Stoll models are in excellent agreement with thein situdata.
