DEFORMATION OF SEISMIC WAVELETS BY THIN LAYERS AND LAYERED BOUNDARIES*

Using plane wave theory and assuming a given input wavelet the shape of the reflected (or transmitted) wavelet from a layered boundary is derived. Several types of boundaries are considered, among them the weathered layer and a wedge shaped intermediate layer. Different angles of incidence and all internal multiples are taken into account. The examples shown in the figures can be used for a direct comparison between theoretical and observed shapes of reflected (or transmitted) wavelets from special boundaries.     

THE DELINEATION OF THE BEDROCK CONFIGURATION OF PART OF PORT JACKSON,NEW SOUTH WALES,WITH A BOOMER SYSTEM*

A high resolution Boomer system was used to investigate the bedrock configuration of part of Port Jackson, New South Wales. The continuous reflection profiling technique was successful in delineating a channel incised in bedrock under a thickness of up to 60 m. of unconsolidated sediment covered by up to 20 m. of water.     

THE LAUSANNE CONGRESS

The International Society for Photogrammetry held the Xlth International Congress at Lausanne during July 1968. The authors review the activities of five of the seven I.S.P. Commissions.
