Abstract

Since the completion of the Malvern seismic reflection traverse during the summer of 1981, the Iowa Geological Survey (IGS) has received numerous inquiries from private geophysical consulting firms and other exploration oriented companies. Most often, information is requested concerning the data collection and processing parameters with the intention being to reprocess the original data to meet the specific purposes of each firm. Prior to this report, the information necessary to carry out the data processing was not available in a single document. This report is therefore intended to be a convenient compilation of all methods and parameters employed for the Malvern traverse. Brief justifications for the determination of the various parameters are illustrated and some general interpretations are offered. Any use of trade names is for descrip tive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by IGS.
