| Abstract: | Refraction seismic and gravity investigations were executed to solve geological and hydrographical problems in recent strata: These loose sediments necessitated a special arrangement for the energy source in the seismic measurements, By the use of a falling weight the refracted wave could be registered from a depth of more than 30 m. Quaternary fluviatile sands are characterized by lower velocities than the Tertiary sediments. Even a marked velocity difference between different Tertiary formations could be observed. Sand-filled valleys in Tertiary clays give relatively important variations in the gravity field caused by the small differences of densities. Thus buried channels in a clay subsoil can be found by accurate gravity measurements. |
