Abstract

This project plans to perform a seismic line of approximately 30 km in length, perpendicular to the structures of the mobile belt Aguapeí in the state of Mato Grosso. We will be make acquisition of signals from quarry blasting, earthquakes and ambient noise. With this acquisition we intend use the techniques of seismic refraction, dispersion analysis of surface waves and the autocorrelation and cross correlation of seismograms, with the aim of determining the subsurface structures.
