Reflection seismic imaging of the end-glacial Pärvie Fault system, northern Sweden
Reflection seismic data were acquired along a c. 23. km long profile over the Pärvie Fault system with a nominal receiver and source spacing of 20. m. An hydraulic breaking hammer was used as a source, generating signals with a penetration depth of about 5-6. km. Steeply dipping reflections from the...
