•Correlation of velocities into possible units
•The throw of the fault is not apparent from this interpretation
•Matlab inversion does not allow discontinuities

Throw of the Fault?
Assuming constant elevation, and using the difference in intercept times and the velocity of layer 2, I calculated a throw of 104 m.

Elevation Corrections
To correct for elevation, we must move both shot and receiver to a common datum.
The corrected calculated throw of the fault is 78 m.

ConclusionsInversion on either side of the fault shows a difference in
velocity with depth.
Inversions were not corrected for elevation or geometry of the road.
The throw of the fault is possible to calculate due to the lag time in the seismograms. This assumes a near vertical fault. Corrections for elevation are only approximate.
