Short summary

We study the near surface of a complex study area located in Burgos (Spain) characterized by significant changes in shallow geology. The geophysical techniques include measurements of seismic noise (passive seismic) at different points that provide sediment thickness and seismic velocity of the subsoil. On the other hand, geophysical well data help to interpret the passive seismic results. The product of this methodology can be helpful for planning geophysical field surveys in complex areas.
