SEISMIC
OVERVIEW
Definition
• The seismic methods measure the travel-time of acoustic waves
propagating through the subsurface. The shot point is the location of the
source wave and the acoustic receivers are called geophones. Source
waves are generally generated by percussion mechanisms located near
the ground or water surface (for example dropped weights or dynamite).
Data are collected, stored, and processed in a seismograph.
(www.state.nj.us)
• The seismic reflection method records acoutic waves at the surface that
are reflected off of subsurface stratigrphic interfaces where changes in the
material density and conductive velocity of the acoustic waves are
significant. (www.state.nj.us)
