We present a method for constraining the velocity—depth structure in the Earth using seismic refraction waveform data. We test the method with synthetic ‘data’ from known models, and apply it to a set of data collected in 1982 June from the East Pacific Rise at 13°N, from the MAGMA expedition. In th...
