f Lithological parameters from shallow marine seismic surveys

Development of marine seismic instrumentation has been concentrated on generation and registration of compressional waves (p-waves). Successful applications of combined pand s-wave investigations on land surveys clearly demonstrated the advantages of these techniques (e.g . Helbig and Mesdag, 1982). In this paper survey techniques and instrumentations are presented for the generation, registration and interpretation of p -, and horizontally as well as vertically polarized s - waves in marine shallow water environments .
