Abstract

The results of the testing phase of a shallow seismic reflection survey carried out in 1994 as a component of the Lower Fraser Valley hydrogeology project are summarized in this paper. The quality of the seismic reflection data obtained varied widely across the survey area, depending primarily upon surface geological conditions. In some areas where the surface materials were fine grained and water saturated, excellent data were obtained and continuous seismic profiles from these areas are expected to yield subsurface structural information to depths of up to 800 m below surface. Other areas proved to be unsuitable for the application of shallow seismic reflection techniques.
