Abstract
© Society of Exploration Geophysicists - 75th SEG International Exposition and Annual Meeting, SEG 2005. All rights reserved. Acoustic sub-bottom profiling was carried out in a lake in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The resulting cross sections show layers of man-made and natural sediments and the surface of the bedrock. The field equipment used here consists of an engineering seismograph, a hand hammer-operated source, hydrophones, and a sportsman's GPS, carried in a recreational fishing boat. Data were processed with Seismic Unix. With this system we were able to image sub-bottom sediments to a depth of about 40 meters in a water depth of 40 meters.
