Sentence examples for reflection seismic lines from inspiring English sources

The contourite drifts off southwest Iberia that formed as a result of the interaction of the Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) with the continental middle slope were studied in the Algarve margin using multichannel reflection seismic lines, oil-wells, piston cores, and a bathymetric compilation of four datasets.

The reconstruction of the main structural features of the Southern Apennines (Italy), in correspondence with the focal volume of some strong earthquakes that have affected this chain, can be attempted by analysing reflection seismic lines and deep well logs in comparison with surface geology.

In addition, published low- to medium-resolution industrial reflection seismic lines shot for Elf in 1973 1974 (Purdy and Bertram 1993; Aubert and Droxler 1996) and for Shell in 1989 1990 (Belopolsky and Droxler 2004a, 2004b) were used for regional context and initial sequence analysis.

We shot nine MCS reflection and refraction seismic lines to estimate along-trench variations in the P-wave velocity structure of the Ryukyu island arc-trench system.

Line B corresponds to the reflection seismic survey line of Kato et al. (2013).

Line B crosses the Sasagami Hill around the 4- to 6.5-km region and the Tsukioka fault at the 6-km point from the western end of the reflection seismic survey line from Kato et al. (2013).

Seismic horizon O/M was interpreted as a drowning unconformity in previous work (Aubert and Droxler 1992 , 1996, based on industrial seismic lines displaying a reflection which could be traced regionally.

Seismic lines with observed intermediate-amplitude PmP reflections are shown as dashed or hatched yellow/green lines.

And what to make of the unfamiliar rusted equipment, or the seismic lines across the earth?

We conducted multichannel seismic (MCS) reflection and wide-angle seismic surveys to elucidate the along-arc variation in seismic structures from the island arc to the trench regions, shooting seven seismic lines across the arc-trench system and two along-arc lines in the island arc and the forearc areas.

To characterize the seafloor and shallow subbottom, ∼ 100 km of high-resolution seismic reflection profiles (chirp) were collected within a 20-km reach of the estuary and correlated with sediment lithologies provided by eight vibracores recovered along seismic lines.
