  abstract = {{T}he {I}nter{PACIFIC} project was aimed at assessing the reliability, resolution, and variability of geophysical methods in estimating the shear-wave velocity profile for seismic ground response analyses. {T}hree different subsoil conditions, which can be broadly defined as soft-soil, stiff-soil, and hard-rock, were investigated. {A}t each site, several participants performed and interpreted invasive measurements of shear wave velocity ({V}s) and compression wave velocity ({V}p) in the same boreholes. {A}dditionally, participants in the project analysed a common surface-wave dataset using their preferred strategies for processing and inversion to obtain {V}s profiles. {T}he most significant difference between the invasive borehole methods and non-invasive surface wave methods is related to resolution of thin layers and abrupt contrasts, which is inherently better for invasive methods. {H}owever, similar variability is observed in the estimated invasive and non-invasive {V}s profiles, underscoring the need to account for such uncertainty in site response studies. {V}-s,{V}-30 estimates are comparable between invasive and non-invasive methods, confirming that the higher resolution provided by invasive methods is quite irrelevant for computing this parameter.},
