Abstract

The present invention enables both deep marine seismic surveys and site seismic surveys to be performed simultaneously. A survey vessel tows a first seismic array (6, 18, 20) for a deep survey and a second seismic array (6, 16, 20) for the site survey. The arrays are operationally distinct buy may share common physical components.
