Towards Efficient Bayesian MASW Analysis using JAX

Multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) offers a fast, low cost approach to characterising the shear-wave velocity profile of shallow sub-surface geology, emerging as a ubiquitous tool within a range of geotechnical applications. In this work, we explore the efficient evaluation of shallow sub-surface dispersion curves using the open source JAX library, and its optimisation for parallel systems. We also outline a framework for the Bayesian analysis of dispersion curves built around the JAX framework.
