Abstract

Complex structures like the Carpathian Orogen and its neighbouring platforms and related inter-orogenic basin system can be understood only by complex integration of complementary investigative tools. A large wide angle refraction and reflection (WARR) survey was carried out in 2014 by a large international partnership in order to study the transition from the East European Platform to the northern part of the Romanian Eastern Carpathians, Transylvanian Basin and the Apuseni Mountains. The main scientific objectives of the WARR project relate to three main investigation domains: crustal architecture; affinity of crystalline basement and sedimentary basins architecture. The profile is about 700 km in total, in Ukraine and Romania. Recorders used were DSS Cubes and placed at 2.0 km intervals along an alignment forming the Romanian segment and the seismic sources were explosives, with shotpoints spaced at 20-65 km with a total of 800-1200 kg explosives/site in clusters of drill-holes loaded with 50 kg explosive/hole, average depth of 25 m. The main conclusions drawn from deep seismic data acquisition technology used is a clean technology, transient, short-lived and do not affect population health, the environmental factors flora and fauna.
