Comparison of Vibroseis and explosive source methods for deep crustal seismic reflection profiling in the Basin and Range province

Abstract

Direct comparison of low-fold, high-energy explosive and high-fold, lower-energy Vibroseis methods for acquiring deep crustal seismic reflection data in the Basin and Range Province suggests that the high-fold common midpoint (CMP) method there does not provide the best possible image of lower crustal structure. -from Authors
