Towards a high-resolution 3D-analysis of sand-bank architecture on the Belgian Continental Shelf (RESOURCE-3D): Final report

Revealing the internal structure of sand banks by means of high-resolution seismic (acoustic) methods remains one of the classic methodological challenges in shallow marine geophysical prospection. This is mostly due to the strong heterogeneity of the sand-bank body in combination with complex sea-floor morphology. This study has focussed on the optimisation of a methodological-technological approach through a comparison of various state-of-the-art high-resolution seismic source/receiver configurations for the investigation of the internal architecture of sand banks. On the basis of a dense ne... Mehr ...
