A modern multichannel seismic equipment is used to collect very high resolution data sets in conjunction with digital echosounding and swath mapping data. Beyond technical and software developments for data acquisition and processing, we focus on multifrequency seismoacoustic imaging of small scale structures in surface sediments as well as comparisons of seismic records with drilling and core data.
