ABSTRACT:
A method of seismic exploration uses recordings from both surface receivers and buried sensors to determine the full elastic effect of the near surface layer on an applied seismic wave. The surface receivers are arranged relative to the seismic source location so that rotational effects may be detected. Buried sensors are located so that vertical effects may be detected. This full elastic effect may be used in subsequent seismic data acquisition to reconcile the effect of the near surface so that the response of the underlying rock formations may be known.
