Abstract

Summary

The presented work examines the effectiveness of Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) and Seismic Refraction Tomography (SRT) on imaging submerged and buried antiquities in a very shallow marine environment. For this purpose, synthetic seismic data sets were created to examine the optimum parameters for the most efficient visualization and interpretation of shallow underwater buried man-made targets. The modeling results outlined that targets wider than 0.5m are reconstructed, both with the SRT and the MASW methods, provided that they are buried close to the seabed. In addition, short spread of the receivers with the MASW provided the most satisfactory outcome concerning the location of the submerged targets. In general, the modeling results are quite encouraging and together with the succesfull application of MASW method in real data can form the basis for establishing the applicability of these geophysical methods in mapping submerged archaeological structures in shallow water environments.
