Abstract :
High-resolution seismic data were collected by the Bert Instruments Inc. Company at the South-American Continental Shelf using EdgeTech SB-0512i sub-bottom profiler with frequency band from 500 Hz to 12 kHz. Core samples were taken along with 3 seismic sections in reason to allow detailed analysis of the layers which reflection coefficients were measured. The results were compared to Dr. Edwin L. Hamilton studies.
