Shallow seismic reflection profiling with a towed geophone system: preliminary results

In recent years some workers have been experimenting with towed receiver array systems in an effort to increase the productivity of land seismic reflection acquisition. The works of Eiken (1989) and Van der Veen (1998) are key references. To our knowledge, there is at least one firm (in Denmark) that provides this type of acquisition service on a regular basis. Based on some of these promising results and due to our need in arranging a time efficient method for profiling we decided to design and build our own towed array system.
