Résumé
A high-resolution three-dimensional (3-D) seismic reflection survey
was conducted in Lake Geneva, near the city of Lausanne, Switzerland,
as part of a project for developing such seismic techniques. Using
a single 48-channel streamer, the 3-D site with an area of 1200 m
x 600 m was surveyed in 10 days. A variety of complex geologic structures
(e.g. thrusts, folds, channel-fill) up to similar to150 m below the
water bottom were obtained with a 15 in.(3) water gun. The 3-D data
allowed the construction of an accurate velocity model and the distinction
of five major seismic facies within the Lower Freshwater Molasse
(Aquitanian) and the Quaternary sedimentary units. Additionally,
the Plateau Molasse (PM) and Subalpine Molasse (SM) erosional surface,
"La Paudeze" thrust fault (PM-SM boundary) and the thickness of Quaternary
sediments were accurately delineated in 3-D.
