Product Description
Hands-On Geophysics Education: The GD-600 Teaching Seismic Source
Geoscience departments need safe, simple, and repeatable equipment for student field labs. The GD-600 Educational Seismic System provides controlled 600-joule impacts that demonstrate reflection, refraction, and surface wave principles without explosive hazards or complex logistics.
Student-Friendly Operation
The single-button firing and visual safety indicators make it impossible to trigger accidentally. Students learn real survey workflows – spreading geophones, laying out lines, and recording shots – without fear of injury.
Indoor and Outdoor Use
Low energy setting (100 J) works inside gymnasiums or courtyards for introductory labs. Full 600 J outdoors for advanced projects like mapping campus bedrock.
Data That Works for Teaching
Each shot produces textbook-quality seismograms that clearly show direct, reflected, and refracted arrivals. The repeatable source wavelet lets students compare stacking, filtering, and velocity analysis results.
