Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and a mechanized system for deploying plural geophones underground for collecting seismic data. The mechanized system includes a vehicle configured to travel above ground and having a storage area that stores the plural geophones; a digging mechanism attached to the vehicle and configured to dig a trench when in contact with the ground; and a damping mechanism attached to the vehicle and configured to hold a geophone behind the digging mechanism relative to a traveling direction (X) of the vehicle.
