Title: Shallow seismic reflection mapping of the overburden‐bedrock interface with the engineering seismograph—Some simple techniques
Abstract:Where unconsolidated overburden exceeds 20 m in thickness, the reflection method may be efficiently used with a 12‐channel engineering seismograph to map topography on the overburden‐bedrock interface...Where unconsolidated overburden exceeds 20 m in thickness, the reflection method may be efficiently used with a 12‐channel engineering seismograph to map topography on the overburden‐bedrock interface as well as possible structure within the overburden. The two techniques we suggest are the simplest forms of reflection profiling which can be applied with a minimum amount of equipment which we suggest is a 12‐channel enhancement seismograph, a 12‐geophone array, and a hammer source. These techniques require good transmission characteristics of the overburden as well as a sharp velocity discontinuity at the overburden‐bedrock interface. For data processing and display a microcomputer is essential.Read More
