Reflection Seismics to a Depth of 3 km - A One Man Task?

An acquisition method is introduced that allows performing reflection seismics with an extremely small crew. The equipment consists of digital sensors, single geophones and an impact source. Surveying is made by differential GPS. No recording truck is necessary. A field example is given. In spite of a near surface high velocity layer a depth of penetration of more than 3000m was reached.
