Download or read book Seismic Refraction Prospecting written by Society of Exploration Geophysicists and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a compilation of the newer techniques of refraction seismic surveying. It contains a series of articles written principally by members of SEG who are specialist in refraction techniques. The volume contains only new materials with a bibliography of references to other refraction materials available. The majority of the papers are of a "technique type" which describe some particular interpretation technique that may be used for better interpretation of special refraction data.

This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basic Seismic Refraction Survey and Data Interpretation Techniques This book is written to impart knowledge on seismic refraction method, which covers data acquisition, processing and interpretation techniques. The discussion in this book is about seismic waves and their characteristics, theory of seismic refraction and field procedures. Examples of seismic refraction data and simple calculation are also provided to enable readers to better visualize and aid their understanding on the seismic refraction method. Rosli Saad is currently a lecturer at School of Physics, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang with 30 years of experience in geophysics. His expertises is in the areas of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), gravity, magnetic, seismic and electrical methods. His main research is in engineering and environmental studies. He has published three research book chapters, four research books and more than 250 journal papers. Recently, he was appointed as head of geophysics section at the Centre of Tropical Geoengineering (GEOTROPIK), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.
Download or read book Shallow Refraction Seismics written by Bengt Sjogren and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many general geophysical textbooks dealing with the subject of seismic refraction. As a rule, they treat the principles and broad aspects ofthe method comprehensively but problems associated with engineering seismics at shallow depths are treated to a lesser extent. The intention of this book is to emphasize some practical and theoretical aspects of detailed refraction surveys for civil engineering projects and water prospecting. The book is intended for students of geophysics, professional geophysicists and geologists as well as for personnel who, without being directly involved in seismic work, are planning surveys and evaluating and using seismic results. The latter category will probably find Chapters 1, 5 and 6 of most interest. Interpretation methods, field work and interpretation of field examples constitute the main part of the book. When writing I have tried to concentrate on topics not usually described in the literature. In fact, some discussions on interpretation and correction techniques and on sources of error have not been published previously. The field examples, which are taken from sites with various geological conditions, range from simple to rather complicated interpretation problems. Thanks are due to A/S Geoteam (Norway), Atlas Copco ABEM AB (Sweden), BEHACO (Sweden) and the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute for allowing me to use field examples and certain data from their investigations. I should particularly like to thank Professor Dattatray S. Parasnis of the University of Luleii (Sweden) for revising the manuscript and for his numerous invaluable suggestions.

Download or read book Static Corrections for Seismic Reflection Surveys written by Michael J. G. Cox and published by SEG Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference manual is designed to enable more geophysicists to appreciate static corrections, especially their limitations, their relationship with near-surface geology, and their impact on the quality of final interpreted sections. The book is addressed to those involved in data acquisition (datum static corrections), data processing (datum static and residual static corrections), and interpretation (the impact that unresolved static corrections, especially the long-wavelength or low-spatial-frequency component, have on the interpretation of the final section). Simple explanations of the underlying principles are included in an attempt to remove some of the mystique of static corrections. The principles involved are illustrated with simple models; these are supplemented with many data examples. This book details differences in approaches that must be considered among 2D, 3D, and crooked-line recordings as well as between P-wave and S-wave surveys. Static corrections are shown to be a simplified yet practical approach to modeling the effects of the near surface where a more correct wavefield or raypath-modeled method may not be efficiently undertaken. Chapters cover near-surface topography and geology; computation of datum static corrections; uphole surveys; refraction surveys; static corrections-limitations and effect on seismic data processes; residual static corrections; and interpretation aspects. An extensive index and a large list of references are included.

Download or read book Applied Geophysics in Hydrogeological and Engineering Practice written by W.E. Kelly and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1993-01-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering geology and hydrogeology are applied sciences which utilize other applied sciences such as geophysics to solve practical problems. The book is written in the monograph format with seven chapters. The first chapter introduces the engineering and hydrogeological tasks to be discussed in the book. Relations between the physical, geomechanical and hydrogeological parameters are discussed in chapters three and five. Methods for field measurements and interpretation of field data are discussed in chapters four and six. Some special methods not routinely used in current practice are discussed in chapter seven. To illustrate and analyze the various applications, the authors have drawn from the extensive literature including many studies not previously described in english texts. Theoretical analyzes are supplemented by numerous examples. This book is addressed to university students of geology especially engineering geology and hydrogeology, geophysics and earth sciences, and post graduate, reseachers, and practising engineering geologists, geotechnical engineers, and hydrogeologists.

This book was released on 1997-11-30 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 600 km giving insight into the 3D structure of the upper mantle. These data are confronted with the requirements of the CTBT for 3D regional seismic models of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system. The two primary purposes of the present work are, first, to present these seismic observations on super long-range profiles in digitised format, using peaceful nuclear explosions (PNE) in the former USSR, and, second, to present the joint thoughts of experts from the deep seismic sounding (DSS) and the comprehensive test ban treaty (CTBT) communities. Implications for petrological and other earth science disciplines are presented. Audience: The CTBT community and earth scientists interested in the 3D structure of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system.
