The Effectiveness of Seismoacoustic Methods for Identifying Subsurface and Near-Surface and Geohazards at The Shallow Arctic Shelf

Abstract

Summary Under the sea conditions the geophysical methods of geohazard prediction, first of all – seismic survey, be basic during the study of the upper part of the geological section. At the same time, geophysical methods set should be selected according not only to the type of construrnion, but also to the acquisition conditions, primarily the depth of the water, which determines the possibility of using various modifications of field techniques, hardware and software systems and The article will consider effectiveness of modifications of seismic and acoustic methods used in site surveys to study subbottom and near-surface hazardous geological processes and phenomena in shallow water areas, typical for licensed areas of Oil&Gas companies on the Arctic shelf.
