Abstract
The generation of a seismic signal where compressional waves are completely absent is known<br>to be a challenging task with shallow seismic surveys carried out in SH waves. This is true even when<br>using appropriate source systems and taking the appropriate measures to prevent this from occurring.<br>There are several factors that contribute to such issues including inclined energizing surfaces, oblique<br>impact angles and the burial of the source system due to repetition of the shots.
