SeisPrho: An interactive computer program for processing and interpretation of high-resolution seismic reflection profiles

Biodetrital carbonates on the Adriatic continental shelf imprinted by oxidation of seeping hydrocarbons

“…High-resolution chirpesonar profiles were acquired with a Teledyne Benthos Chirp-III SBP system, composed by a 16 hull-mounted transducer array, using a 2e7 kHz sweep-modulated bandwidth, which allowed a vertical resolution on the order of 50 cm. Seismic profiles were post-processed and visualized with SeisPrho (Gasperini and Stanghellini, 2009). Bottom sampling was performed using a large volume Van Veen Grab (60 l), heavy dredge and a gravity corer of 1.2 tons (Table 1).…”

Delta growth and river valleys: the influence of climate and sea level changes on the South Adriatic shelf (Mediterranean Sea)

“…Seismic profiles were post-processed and visualized with SeisPrho (Gasperini and Stanghellini, 2009). Track-line positioning was based on D-GPS navigation, assuring a position accuracy of ca 10 m, and converted to geographic coordinates referred to the WGS84 datum.…”

“…High resolution seismic reflection profiles, assisting core sampling, were acquired using a hullmounted sixteen-transducer source frequency modulated source (chirp) with a frequency sweep ranging from 2 to 7 kHz. Sonar profiles, with a vertical resolution within few decimeters, were processed onboard the ship using the open software Seisprho (Gasperini and Stanghellini, 2009) to obtain acoustic images of the sampling sites before and during coring operations.…”
