Abstract

A technique includes receiving seismic data acquired in a survey of a region, the region being associated with locations; processing the seismic data to estimate at least one frequency dependent surface wave property over the region; based at least in part on the estimated frequency dependent surface wave property(ies), determining a frequency dependent data processing geometry for each location; and processing the seismic data based at least in part on the determined data processing geometries to derive a spatially continuous representation of a surface wave property across the region.
