Seismoelectrical Method - Limitations

Limitations

The electroseismic method is apparently susceptible to electrical noise from nearby higher voltage power lines. Typical electroseismic signals are at the microvolt level. The electroseismic signal is proportional to the pressure of the seismic wave. Thus, it would seem possible to increase the signal by using stronger seismic sources. This is not mentioned in the literature. Electroseismic soundings have a maximum exploration depth of about 500 m in the reported literature.

Famous quotes containing the word limitations:

    ... art transcends its limitations only by staying within them.
    Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    No man could bring himself to reveal his true character, and, above all, his true limitations as a citizen and a Christian, his true meannesses, his true imbecilities, to his friends, or even to his wife. Honest autobiography is therefore a contradiction in terms: the moment a man considers himself, even in petto, he tries to gild and fresco himself.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    The limitations of pleasure cannot be overcome by more pleasure.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
