Pre-Reclamation Geophysical Test Surveys on a Municipal Solid Waste Landfill

B045 PRE-RECLAMATION GEOPHYSICAL TEST SURVEYS ON A MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL 1 Summary In the framework of the surveys aimed at characterizing an old municipal solid waste landfill prior to its reclamation we carried out gravity both refraction and reflection P-wave seismic and electrical resistivity measurements along one test profile. Apart from the seismic refraction and the electrical resistivity methods rather commonly used for landfill detection and assessment interesting results were obtained from gravity and shallow reflection not so widely used for this kind of application. Gravity was useful at least for delineating the horizontal extent of the landfill while
