<p>The present invention provides a seismic exploration and imaging system for producing seismic survey reports of subsea geological structures. The exploration system provides a method in which both P-waves and S-waves are detected without the need for placing detection apparatus in contact the seabed. A seismic event is applied (12) to the earthaCOEs surface (13), and the detected response including P-waves and S-waves in the earthaCOEs. The detecting apparatus comprises a means for monitoring and recording the response to the seismic event in the form of movements of particles at the earthaCOEs surface, from a position spaced from the earthaCOEs surface. Particles at the surface will respond both to P-wave and S-wave stimulation and so their movements will be representative of the two waves. These movements are detected from a distance.</p> |
