In this paper we employ the Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio approach in order to estimate the thickness of sediments in the Buenos Aires Province (Argentina). The results of this work show that the HVSR technique has great potential in the study of unconsolidated sediments and geomorphology. In this contribution, we show the first ambient noise characterization of the North-eastern part of Buenos Aires Province. Clear HVSR peaks with stratigraphic origin have been identified, and a correlation with the main geomorphological domains has been established.
