NEAR SURFACE IMAGING AND HAZARD DETECTION
First Claim
1. A system of seismic hazard detection with receiver spacing, comprising:
- a first string of one or more acoustic sources and a second string of one or more acoustic sources opposite the first string;
a first one or more hydrophones mounted within a predetermined distance of the first string of one or more acoustic sources;
a second one or more hydrophones mounted within the predetermined distance of the second string of one or more acoustic sources;
the first one or more hydrophones to record an acoustic shot generated from a source on the first string of one or more acoustic sources;
the second one or more hydrophones to record the acoustic shot and acoustic reflections corresponding to the acoustic shot; and
a data processing system comprising one or more processors and memory to;
receive seismic data corresponding to the acoustic shot and the acoustic reflections recorded by the second one or more hydrophones; and
generate an image from the acoustic shot and the acoustic reflections with the seismic data recorded by the second one or more hydrophones mounted within the predetermined distance from the second string of one or more acoustic sources.

Abstract
Systems and methods of near surface imaging and hazard detection with increased receiver spacing are provided. The system includes: a first string of one or more acoustic sources, a second string of one or more acoustic sources opposite the first string, a first one or more hydrophones mounted within a predetermined distance of the first string, and a second one or more hydrophones mounted within the predetermined distance of the second string. The first one or more hydrophones records an acoustic shot generated from the first string. The second one or more hydrophones records the acoustic shot and acoustic reflections corresponding to the acoustic shot. The system generates an image from the recorded acoustic shot and the acoustic reflections.

16. A method of seismic hazard detection with receiver spacing, comprising:
-
providing a first string of one or more acoustic sources and a second string of one or more acoustic sources opposite the first string of one or more acoustic sources; providing a first one or more hydrophones mounted within a predetermined distance of the first string of one or more acoustic sources; providing a second one or more hydrophones mounted within the predetermined distance of the second string of one or more acoustic sources; recording, by the first one or more hydrophones, an acoustic shot generated from a source on the first string of one or more acoustic sources; recording, by the second one or more hydrophones, the acoustic shot and acoustic reflections corresponding to the acoustic shot; receiving, by a data processing system comprising one or more processors and memory, seismic data corresponding to the acoustic shot and the acoustic reflections recorded by the second one or more hydrophones; generating, by the data processing system for display via a display device, an image from the acoustic shot and the acoustic reflections with the seismic data recorded by the second one or more hydrophones within the predetermined distance from the second string of acoustic sources. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
