I sent this email earlier, but that attachment exceeded the attachment limit so I am linking the attachment.
http://i.imgur.com/dHida3t.png Attached is a figure showing a collection of velocity profiles across a region. The goal would be to group each of theses curves into groups with similar characteristics My idea is to group the entire profile for two reasons: 1) The goal is to randomly generate similar profiles. 2) The layering sequence within a profile is dependent on the geologic conditions. So the relationship between adjacent layers would be different for different groups, and would require more variables to describe. If you clustered using thickness and velocity, then you would also have to consider depth as well.
