In site characterization for civil engineering and environmental assessments, exploration geophysics spreads fast to undertake more detailed and systematic investigations owing to advantages of scale, coast and speed. However, surface surveys alone don’t have been sufficient for engineering problems that required the high resolution for acquiring geological and geotechnical informations of near surface. These limitations have been overcome or being overcome by the advancement of S/W and H/W. Seismic tomography is widely introduced and used among others methods which give high resolution and quantitative data. This paper gives a consideration to site applications of seismic tomography, and shows that the results are changed according as survey or data processing parameters in seismic tomography.
