Abstract

In geologic provinces where surface erosion has removed several hundred feet of section the customary method of depth calculation for the reelection seismograph with an empirically determined velocity function frequently fails to show true sub-surface relief. Seismograph structure maps frequently show evidences of the surface topography and intervals between two reflection horizons may appear in excess of the true value. A method is presented here which seems to eliminate the effect of topography on the depth calculations.
