Abstract
We present the results of very high-resolution seismic profiling (VHR) and underwater electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) measurements in the Petrozavodsk Bay of Lake Onega, which were carried out to research the structure of Quaternary sediments. According to the VHR, five seismic sequences were identified during the seismic stratigraphy analysis, and a three-layer geoelectric section was obtained using ERT. The next step was an accomplishment of 2D ERT inversion based on reflectors from the VHR data. The joint interpretation of geophysical data was completed on the basis of comparative and cluster analyses with reference to the well and known geological data. During the research new information was obtained about the physical properties of the bottom sediments. The results indicate the need to apply such an approach to the interpretation of geophysical data and the prospects for the joint application of VHR and ERT acquisitions.
期刊介绍:
Seismic Instruments is a journal devoted to the description of geophysical instruments used in seismic research. In addition to covering the actual instruments for registering seismic waves, substantial room is devoted to solving instrumental-methodological problems of geophysical monitoring, applying various methods that are used to search for earthquake precursors, to studying earthquake nucleation processes and to monitoring natural and technogenous processes. The description of the construction, working elements, and technical characteristics of the instruments, as well as some results of implementation of the instruments and interpretation of the results are given. Attention is paid to seismic monitoring data and earthquake catalog quality Analysis.
