Seismic
surface waves can provide a useful tool for cavity detection. In
the summer of 1998, seismic surface wave measurements were performed over
Slate Lakes Cave in Coconino National Forest, Arizona.
Bob
Buecher from Tucson brought the cave radio which we use to align arrays
and determine depths.
We worked
with Dale Green of Salt Lake City who performed electrical resistivity
& magnetometer studies.
Mike
Doe used a seismograph on loan from Northern Arizona University.
The
entrance to the cave is a collapse feature.
This work was sponsored by the
National Speleological Society and the National Science Foundation.
