Tromino seismometer and passive seismic surveying

The TROMINO® is a self-contained instrument that weighs about 1 kg and measures ambient seismic waves, commonly referred to as “passive seismic”, which are caused by wind, waves, and manmade vibrations, and is used for geological and engineering applications. One of the most common applications for passive seismic is estimating thickness of low velocity transported deposits, or highly weathered rock, sitting above higher velocity hard bedrock. This can be applied to paleochannel mapping for uranium and alluvial mineral deposits, estimating cover thickness ahead of drilling programs, groundwater and environmental studies, and other applications. The TROMINO® seismometers can also be used for active seismic refraction, reflection and surface wave surveying.
