In the first stage, we applied waveform fitting using a model space search approach (using the Neighbourhood Algorithm; Sambridge, 1999a,b) to obtain the fundamental and higher mode Love and Rayleigh wave phase velocity measurements (Visser et al., 2007). In the second stage (Visser et al., 2008), we ...
