A new digital seismic data acquisition system and accompanying software have been developed by Ifremer to replace the analog equipment commonly used in very high‐resolution (less than 1 m) shallow marine seismic reflection surveys. The acquisition part, based on a Hewlett‐Packard 9000 microcomputer, is capable of sampling rates of up to 15 kHz for one channel. Signal processing and image processing can be performed either during the survey by the acquisition computer or after the survey with a software system that runs on a Sun workstation. The system has been developed for the specific requirements of coastal studies; understanding of the sediment layers in such studies requires a vertical resolution of around 1 m in the top 10 m of sediment. This system has been successfully used for the study of subtidal sand waves off the Cherbourg peninsula (France). The results, which revealed the internal structure of sand waves from about 3 m to 8 m high, correlated well with synthetic seismograms that were created using data from core studies of the survey area.

AbstractBorings in the Argive Plain reveal cycles of marine incursions, each ending with a Mediterranean soil profile and followed by a prograded fluvial and coastal wedge. The sediment prism of the Gulf of Argos shelf, visible in high-resolution seismic reflection profiles, also consists of transgressive and regressive depositional sequences identified by onlap, downlap, and truncation of deposits. At least four major reflectors, recognizable by their high acoustic impedance and erosional features, can be correlated across the shelf. The sediments between each pair of reflectors represent the seaward part of a set of transgressive and regressive marine deposits. They can be matched to the stratigraphic sequence on land where each marine unit is topped by a soil. Corrected for subsidence, the terminations of the onlapping and downlapping units define a local sea-level history; its time scale can be derived from a comparison with the eustatic sea-level history deduced from ocean cores. Thus, marine seismic reflection data can be used for the correlation of Quaternary oceanic and terrestrial chronologies.
