High-Resolution Seismic Reflection Profiling for Mapping Shallow Aquifers in Lee County,Florida.

摘要

High-resolution continuous seismic reflection profiling equipment was used to define the configuration of sedimentary layers underlying part of Lee County,Florida. About 45miles (72kilometers) of profile were made on the Caloosahatchee River Estuary and San Carlos Bay. Two different acoustic energy sources, a high resolution boomer and a 45-electrode high resolution sparker,both having a power input of 300joules,were used to obtain both adequate penetration and good resolution. The seismic profiles indicated that much of the strata of middle Miocene to Holocene age apparently are extensively folded but not faulted.
