f The power of reflection seismics for mapping of shallow layers

A vast portion of shallow exploration requires non destructive methods with high resolution. For prospecting waste disposals it is necessary to map permeable and impermeable beds in a depth range of 10 to 100 m without any destruction of the impermeable layers to avoid a contamination of the ground water. The object of this paper is to show the power of high resolution reflection seismics in Quarternary ice-borne sediments in Northern Germany.
