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 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.

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.
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 September 2017 three crustal-scale seismic profiles were acquired in southern Iran covering the subaerial accretionary wedge of the western part of the Makran Subduction zone. Each of the roughly north-south trending profiles was approximately 200 km long, and on each profile 9 to 10 artificial shots with charges between 400 and 800 kg of explosives were fired. The seismic signals were observed by 300 autonomous digital recorders with geophones on each profile. This dataset consists of the raw (continuous) data of the recorders (in proprietary cube format and MSEED-format) and the shot records in SEGY-format (standard exchange formats).
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.
The dataset contains SEG-Y data of a 3D seismic in situ experiment in the Mont Terri URL, Switzerland. The data were acquired using a pneumatic impact source and 3-C geophones, installed in boreholes or on the tunnel wall. The data publication covers the raw data (individual hits per shot point) and the vertically stacked data stored in SEG-Y format. The survey geometry (source coordinates, receiver coordinates) is included.
Raw, SEGY and other supplementary data are presented from the seismic refraction / wide-angle reflection profile, TTZ-South, in Poland and Ukraine. The purpose of this 550 km long seismic profile was to reveal the lithospheric structure along the Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone (TTZ), a major geophysical boundary in Europe.
