Abstract

Sparker type seismic energy sources are widely used in marine environments. However they cannot
be used in fresh waters due to their operating principles. For this reason a new source design is
implemented by reducing the electrode spacing. Three seismic units subdivided by two erosional
unconformities were determined in Lake İznik, although the vertical resolution is degraded by 2.5 to
3 times.
