Abstract
Abstract We present three case studies on detecting buried glacial boulders, a sewage tunnel, and abandoned coal mine tunnels using shear-wave reflection methods. The seismic signature of such subsurface features is in the form of an isolated diffraction, distinctly recognized on seismic sections obtained from shallow seismic surveys using a transverse horizontal (H2) source and a multichannel landstreamer that consists of H2 geophones. We used H2 impulsive and vibrator sources with varying bandwidth. Based on field experiments with multicomponent recordings, we determined that the H2-H2 source-receiver configuration is the most optimal to generate downgoing horizontally polarized shear (SH) waves and upcoming SH reflected and diffracted waves. A shallow SH-SH image using a microvibe high-frequency sweep exhibits a wavelength between 1 and 2 m, which is comparable to that of a ground-penetrating radar image with the additional advantage of deeper penetration.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
