According to Mike Sexton (pers. comm., 2013; GA) 3D surveys are modern surveys that shoot with multiple cables, acquiring many times more data than a 2D survey. The cables have no impact on the environment. Over time, seismic surveys have used a variety of sources commencing with dynamite in the 1960s (usually 50 lbs, but sometimes 200 lbs). The shot spacing was usually of the order of 200 m. Since then, electrical discharges (sparkers), gas-exploders, vibratory sources and air guns have been used. The shot interval has been reduced to about 20 m.</dct:abstract> <dc:description>This data set is a summary of seismic survey transects from 1961 to 2015.
