ABSTRACT:
An impulsive seismic generator is mounted on a swamp buggy suitable for operations both in a marshy environment and on land. The generator employs a target plate which may be lowered into a body of water or mud beneath the buggy so as to contact subsurfaces of varying degrees of firmness. The submerged components of the generator are surrounded by a water-tight barrier which isolates the space between a descending mass and the receiving target plate from the surrounding fluid.
