Abstract

A

A high resolution Boomer system was used to investigate the bedrock configuration of part of Port Jackson, New South Wales. The continuous reflection profiling technique was successful in delineating a channel incised in bedrock under a thickness of up to 60 m. of unconsolidated sediment covered by up to 20 m. of water.
