The Modernized U of C Seismic Physical Modelling Facility

we overhauled the system, replacing obsolete components with modern and improved alternatives. The guiding principle we followed in making changes was that the revamped facility be capable of accurately and efficiently simulating high-resolution 2D and 3D seismic surveys in both land and marine environments. To this end, we have constructed an automated facility that incorporates a six-axis positioning system using linear electric motors, arrays of transmitting and receiving transducers, fast analogue-to-digital acquisition, and customized control and acquisition software. We present examples of data gathered from a model 2D marine seismic survey
