Area Overview

Seismic Recording

VSP Recording

Data Processing

Seismic Recording Parameters:

The seismic data were recorded by Bay Geophysical Associates between July 28 and August 6, 1998. A total of four profiles were acquired using a 144 channel seismograph and a vibrator source. Part of Line 1 was collected using a sledge hammer source where the vibrator was denied access.
