Abstract

See full text

A portable seisgun device providing a consistent signal for detection with sensor arrays and geophones in the course of seismic studies, and a self-contained transport mechanism. The device comprises a main platform, a muffling skirt and a gun stock mounted on a dolly. The platform provides a safe place to operate the device. The skirt both reduces noise and contains debris. The firing barrel fires a shotgun shell into the ground, producing the seismic signal. Interchangeable barrels permit different types of ammunition to be used. The dolly acts as both infrastructure and transport for the device and additional equipment, including over rough terrain.
