Statistics of Slowness vs Velocity Derived SWS Published in IEEE T-UFFC!

January 29, 2026

Congratulations to Wren Wightman and co-authors for their published work in IEEE T-UFFC, on achieving better shear wave speed reconstructions using point slowness versus velocity. Though slowness is essentially the inverse of velocity (dt/dx), using this schema for shear wave velocity reconstructions allows for similar shear wave velocity estimation accuracy with data that had 10x lower SNR!
