unusual facts about Reflection seismology


Whitewood mine

Development of the mining site at Whitewood and the seismic testing done there in the 1980s have allowed geologists to establish the timeframe and geologic phases associated with the formation of the mine's coal bed.


Berw Fault

Any Caledonian deformation is unclear but the fault zone was reactivated in the Carboniferous as a NW-throwing normal fault with seismic reflection data showing the formation of a half-graben in its hanging wall.

Hugh W. Hardy

In his civilian career as a geoscientist, he had a 34-year career with Exxon which included pioneering research in well-logging and 3D seismic exploration.
