  1. 1. Re-processing Reflection Seismic Data at a Quick-clay Landslide Site in Southwest Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Geofysik

    Author : Zhaochen Mu; [2022]
    Keywords : reprocess; reflection seismic; tomography; quick-clay; landslide;

    Abstract : This MSc thesis reprocessed seismic data collected at a site near the Gota River in 2011, focusing on two lines. The two seismic lines ran through a landslide scar zone for a total length of 1 km, both of which used dynamite as the seismic source. READ MORE

  3. 2. Analysis of Seismic Data Acquired in the Hverahlíð Geothermal Area

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Geofysik

    Author : Agnieszka Stoch; [2020]
    Keywords : Hverahlíð geothermal area; reflection seismic; virtual reflection seismic profiling; virtual shot gather; cross-correlation; autocorrelation;

    Abstract : Volcanic rifting environments, such as in Iceland, are challenging for conventional seismic reflection methods using active surface seismic sources. This study demonstrates the potential of a novel technique, called Virtual Reflection Seismic Profiling (VRSP) for imaging reflections in geothermal regions, like Hverahlíð, where a dense seismic array recorded a number of local microearthquakes for cross-correlation.

  4. 3. First-arrival traveltime tomography of active-source data in the Kansanshi copper mine, northern Zambia

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Geofysik

    Author : Vessela Hobson; [2019]
    Keywords : refraction seismics; tomographic inversion; Zambian Copperbelt; copper;

    Abstract : Sedimentary rock-hosted deposits are a major source of copper and cobalt, with the Neoproterozoic central African Copperbelt being among the largest Cu-Co provinces in the world, accounting for around 15% of its copper resource. The deposits occur primarily in the carbonates and siliciclastic sediments overlying the basement, and formed during early diagenesis (around 820 Ma) and late diagenesis/metamorphism during the Pan-African Orogeny (580-520 Ma).
