Abstract
Seismic refraction surveys enable the imaging of the subsurface of the Earth at shallow depths. Using seismic refraction, I image three layers below the surface on The Ohio State University's South Oval. The top-most layer extends from the surface to a depth of nine feet. The middle layer lies between nine feet and 20 feet of depth. The lower most layer has an upper boundary at 20 feet of depth that extends to more than 30 feet of depth but could not be imaged. When comparing the tomographic inversion model with the gamma ray log, it is shown that layer boundaries are located at shallower depths. I was unable to image the water table because it lies at a depth of 1.35 meters.
