Project Overview

Recording Parameters

Data  Processing

Seismic Recording Parameters:

The seismic data were recorded by students and staff of ESRI-University of South Carolina. After acquisition and processing of line M-1, the recording parameters were modified for acquisition of lines M-2 & M-3.
