Abstract
Subsurface investigations in urban areas have to take sealed surfaces and densely built and populated areas into account. The shear-wave reflection seismic system developed at the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG) provides a solution for this acquisition technology problem using horizontally polarized shear waves (SH-waves) and noninvasive source and receiver designs.
