Composite refraction-reflection stack sections: Tracing faults in the Atlantic coastal plain sediments
TL;DR: In this article, shallow refracted arrivals are used to construct a composite refraction-reflection stack that allows better imaging of the subsurface at shallow depths, which is used to investigate basement faults that penetrate upward into Atlantic Coastal Plain sediments.

Abstract: Seismic data from the Atlantic Coastal Plain are reprocessed and composite refraction-reflection stack sections produced to investigate basement faults that penetrate upward into Atlantic Coastal Plain sediments in South Carolina. Reprocessing recovered reflections from within the deep crust to the Moho as well as from within thin veneer (300) of the Atlantic Coastal Plain sediments. One of the major objectives of this paper is to discuss the use of shallow refracted arrivals to construct a composite refraction- reflection stack that allows better imaging of the subsurface at shallow depths.
