Abstract

Summary

In March 2025, a novel seismic experiment was conducted at the Wits University site to compare the MEMs broadband sensors and geophones for near-surface applications. The broadband MEMs data proved to be more superior than geophones data both in bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. This case study underscores the potential of broadband data for achieving high-resolution subsurface imaging in near-surface investigations for infrastructure development.
