|
|
Purpose
|
A two-day field activity on Lower Crystal Springs Reservoir
|
(the portion of the reservoir north of Highway 92) to test the use of
|
the Seistec, a high-resolution surface-towed seismic profiler, and
|
ground-penetrating radar in fresh water environments. Permit to
|
conduct this survey received from the San Francisco Water Department.
|
|
Summary
|
Seistec data (5/12/99) recorded with MudSeis in SEG-Y format. Data were written to hard disk and transferred (ftp) to nemo for ProMax processing. No hard copy or removeable media data were recorded.

Notes
|
Data acquisition: Seistec data (5/12/99) recorded with MudSeis in
|
SEG-Y format. Data were written to hard disk and transferred (ftp) to nemo for
|
ProMax processing. No hard copy or removeable media data were recorded.
|
|
5/12/99 - Departed MarFac at 0815 (PST) for Crystal Springs; met Mike Byrne,
|
Watershead Manager, at the boat ramp off Skyline Blvd, approx. 1/2 mile north of
|
Highway 92. Boat inspected and approved for use in the reservoir. Mobilized the
|
Seistec instrument, navigational and recording equipment. Launched Fast Eddie
|
and Seistec; underway by about 11 am. Starting at noon (1900 GMT) recorded
|
seven crossings of the reservoir, observing moderate penetration of sediment
|
(15-20 meters) in places, and considerable bathymetric relief. Reservoir has a
|
very steep western margin, and several incisions and platforms that may
|
represent scarps or other features associated with the San Andreas Fault.
|
|
Seistec acquisition parameters: 105 J power, 0.25 sec fire rate; 16 kHz
|
sampling, 80 meter record length, Seistec internal receiver only, 300 Hz - 10=
|
kHz bandpass
|
|
5/13/99 - Departed MarFac at 0800 (PST), and arrived Crystal Springs approx.
|
0830. Configured a small Zodiac raft to support the ground-penetrating radar
|
(GPR) antennas. The GPR was tested in shallow water near the shore at the boat
|
ramp, but wind conditions were too severe to launch the whaler and zodiac.
|
Further refinement of the GPR deployment is required. Returned to MarFac by
|
noon.
