L012 Broome seismic reflection survey, WA, 1954

The preliminary investigation was made when the Bureaut s seismic party was held up by flooded rivers, while on its way t o Christmas Creek in May, 1954. Results show that the seismic aethod is applicable to the Broome area, and that a sedimentary section of the order of 12,500 feet exists. They further show that a syncline and anticline not known from the surface geology may possibly exist at depth.

本次初步调查开展于1954年5月，当时某地震勘探队在前往圣诞溪的途中因河流泛滥受阻。调查结果显示，地震勘探方法适用于布鲁姆地区，该区域存在厚度约12500英尺的沉积剖面；进一步研究表明，地下深处可能存在地表地质调查未探明的向斜与背斜构造。
