Abstract

A method for generating a three dimensional (3D) model of a near surface layer. In one implementation, the method may include generating a one dimensional (1D) geologic model of the near surface layer, converting the 1D geologic model to a two dimensional (2D) geologic model of the near surface layer, converting the 2D geologic model to a 3D geologic model of the near surface layer, and converting the 3D geologic model to a 3D elastic geologic model of the near surface layer.
