In July and August 2017, off-shore seismic measurements have been carried out south of Sri Lanka as part of the INGON project. Main aim of this part of the project was to study the deep structure of the continent-ocean transition south of Sri Lanka and the early plate drift of India and Sri Lanka. The marine profile was extended by 15 seismic stations on-shore Sri Lanka, of which the data is contained in this data publication (land observations of airgun sources). This dataset consists of the raw (continuous) data of the land recorders (in proprietary cube and MSEED formats) and the shot records (airgun sources) in SEGY-format (standard exchange format).
The dataset contains SEG-Y data of a 2D shear wave survey carried out in the Mont Terri URL, Switzerland. The data were acquired using an ELVIS VII source in SH-mode and 1-C horizontal geophones mounted on a land-streamer. The data publication covers raw data, edited raw data (removal of corrupted records) and preprocessed data (correlation and vertical stacking) stored in SEG-Y format. The survey geometry (source point coordinates, receiver point coordinates, geometry pattern) is included.
The dataset contains the seismic weight drop data acquired in Private Reserve Santa Gracia, Chile. The data acquisition was conducted as a part of the EarthShape project in the subproject of Geophysical Imaging of the Deep EarthShape (GIDES). The seismic line was setup to cut across an existing borehole location with core and geophysical logging data available (Krone et al., 2021; Weckmann et al., 2020). The data was acquired to image the deep weathering zone identified by the borehole data across the seismic profile. Included in the datasets are the raw data of the CUBE data logger, SEG-Y data of the recorded shots, and the shot and receiver geometry data. A vital aspect of comprehending the interplay between geological and biological processes lies in the imaging of the critical zone, located deep beneath the surface, where the transition from unaltered bedrock to fragmented regolith occurs. It had been hypothesized that the depth of such weathering zone is dependent on the climate condition of the area. A more humid climate with higher precipitation will result in a deeper weathering front. As a part of the EarthShape project (SPP-1803 ‘EarthShape: Earth Surface Shaping by Biota’), specifically the Geophysical Imaging of the Deep EarthShape (GIDES - Grant No. KR 2073/5-1), we aim to image the weathering zone using the geophysical approach. Using the seismic method, we can differentiate different weathered layers based on the seismic velocity while also providing a 2D subsurface image of the critical zone. We conducted a seismic weight drop experiment in the Private Reserve Santa Gracia, Chile, to observe the depth of the weathering zone in a semi-arid climate and compare the resulting model with existing borehole data (Krone et al., 2021; Weckmann et al., 2020). The acquired data can then be used for multiple seismic imaging techniques, including body wave tomography and multichannel analysis of surface waves.

This data publication contains part of a seismic survey collected across the Ivrea Zone, Italy, in October 2020. Within the research project SEIZE (SEismic Imaging of the Ivrea ZonE), this high-resolution seismic campaign investigates the upper 5 km of the subsurface under and around the commune of Balmuccia (Val Sesia, Piemont region). The aim is to provide the best in situ geophysical image and physical properties of the subsurface as well as to calibrate future observations made during the planned ICDP drilling (https://www.icdp-online.org/projects/by-continent/europe/dive-italy, http://www.dive2ivrea.org/). Seismic Data, including raw, mini-seed and SEG-Y files, of a part of a controlled-source 3D survey in Northern Italy, Ivrea Zone, based on 432 Vibroseis sources recorded by a fixed spread of 110 receivers.
In 2016, the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (Hannover, Germany) carried out two seismic surveys in the Lienz basin. The measurements are part of a DFG-funded project, which investigates the benefit of the application of modern multi-component reflection seismics preparatory to scientific drilling, in particular to the ICDP-project DOVE (Drilling Overdeepened Alpine Valleys). Four P-wave seismic profiles, perpendicular to the valley axes, were recorded using vibroseismic technique to gain structure and facies information. In addition, two SH-wave reflection seismics, one 6-component profile, two small 3-D layouts for P-wave and S-waves, as well as one P-wave and SH-wave refraction seismic profiles were measured for primarily methodological studies. Data show a good quality and, in a first quality control, the bedrock as well as internal structures of the basin are imaged.
The data set was acquired in the framework of the CRC 1211 “Earth – Evolution at the dry limit” which aims to study continuous longterm (Quaternary-Miocene) paleoclimatic/environmental records from the hyperarid core of the Atacama desert / N Chile covering the last up to 10 Ma. As part of this project, three clay pans were investigated in the Coastal Cordillera (Huara 20° 4'32.75"S; 69°55'1.46"W; PAG: 21°32'27.39"S; 69°54'47.21"W; Paranal 24°29'20.53"S; 70° 8'54.63"W). The clay pans are located along a latitudinal transect across the hyperarid core of the Atacama from 20° S to 24.5° S. The seismic survey comprised a couple of crossing 2D high-resolution seismic lines per each of the clay pans, acquired with vertical component geophones, Geode recorders and a PEG-40 accelerated weight drop as source.
The occurrence of exposed high-metamorphic rocks (granulites) in combination with various gravity anomalies aligned along the direction of Variscan strike characterize a special terrain (Saxothuringikum) which has been sandwiched between two major tectonic units during the Variscan orogeny. Near surface geological studies show evidence that the Saxothuringian zone represents extended crust. Therefore the model of a "metamorphic core complex" is often used to explain the exhumation of the "Saxonian granulites". The thickness of the crust, the geometry of the Moho, and the composition of middle and lower crust that underlie such" metamorphic core complexes" have remained largely unconstrained. Because these physical parameters are critical for understanding the extensional processes acting at depth, we have carried out a seismic refraction experiment in order to resolve the deeper structure of an exposed "granulite-complex". From May 6th to May 13th 1995 a seismic refraction - wide angle reflection experiment was carried out as part of the DFG-priority program: "Orogenic processes – their quantification and simulation at the example of the Variscides". Two lines, A and B, were completed in two deployments (see map in GRANU95_report.pdf). In total 12 shots were fired and over 4500 seismograms were collected using 130 instruments. Only two different types of instruments (Reftek and PDAS) have been used for recording the explosions. All instruments were equipped with a 3-component 1Hz seismometer. The 90 km long NW-SE line (deployment A, 74 instruments) from Leipzig to the Erzgebirge through the Saxonian Granulites was carried out on the 8th and 9th May 1995. Additionally 56 stations were placed symmetrically to shotpoint D along line B (perpendicular to line A). Shots were fired on locations A1, A3, A4, A2 (see map in GRANU95_report.pdf). The station spacing for this deployment was around 1.3 km. The 260 km long SW-NE line (deployment B, 93 instruments) from Dresden to Bamberg, also crossing the Saxonian Granulites was completed from 11th to 13th May 1995. Every second instrument from deployment A was moved to complete line B. Shots were fired on locations B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I (see map in GRANU95_report.pdf) and recorded along line B and line A (perpendicular to line B) at a receiver spacing of about 2.6 km.
Bedload transport is a key process in fluvial morphodynamics and hydraulic engineering, but is notoriously difficult to measure. The recent advent of stream-side seismic monitoring techniques provides an alternative to in-stream monitoring techniques, which are often costly, staff-intensive, and cannot be deployed during large floods. Seismic monitoring is a surrogate method requiring several steps to convert seismic data into bedload data. State-of-the-art approaches of conversion exploit physical models predicting the seismic signal generated by bedload transport. Here, we did an active seismic survey (2017-11) and used seismic data from a flood event (2016-02-22) on the Nahal Ehstemoa to constrain a seismic bedload model. We conducted the active seismic survey to determine the local seismic ground properties, i.e., the Green’s function. We also used water depth and bedload grain size distribution to constrain the seismic bedload model and were able to compare the bedload flux obtained from the seismic data using the model with high-quality independent bedload measurements from slot samplers on the site. The complementary non-seismic data is published in a separate data publication (Lagarde et al., 2020).
This data publication contains a seismic survey which was acquired in the Mont Terri Underground Rock Laboratory (URL) in January 2019. The aim of the SI-A experiment (Seismic Imaging Ahead of and around underground infrastructure) is to provide a seismic characterization at the meso scale and to investigate the feasibility of tomographic and reflection imaging in argillaceous environments. The survey covered the different facies types of Opalinus Clay: shaly facies, carbonate -rich sandy facies and sandy facies (Bossart et al. 2017). Three different seismic sources (impact, vibro, ELVIS) were used to acquire the seismic data. The impact and magnetostrictive vibro sources were particularly designed for seismic exploration in the underground (Giese et al. 2005, Richter et al. 2018). The ELVIS source was mainly designed for near-surface investigations on roads or in open terrain (Krawczyk et al. 2012). All data were recorded on 32 3-component geophones (GS-14-L3, 28 Hz) which were deployed in 2 m deep boreholes, fixed at the tip of rock anchors. The data publication covers raw and preprocessed data stored in SEG-Y format.
