Sanborn Slough 3-D Seismic Survey

Sanborn Slough 3-D Seismic Survey

The general technique of the geophysical exploration proposed is referred to as the seismic reflection method. This method sends acoustic energy into the earth, which is reflected from subsurface layers and recorded at the surface with an instrument used to transform seismic energy into electrical impulses (geophones or receivers). A "source" line is a series of shot holes (also called shot holes or source points) in a line. For this project, the applicant proposes generating seismic waves with the detonation of 2.5-pound explosive charges, one at a time, in 15-foot-deep shot holes below the ground. A "receiver" line is a series of geophones or receivers in a line on the surface that record the reflected seismic waves. Computers process the collected data to create an image of the subsurface geology.
