Abstract

Accurate detection of karst water is the premise of karst water disaster control in coal mines. It is difficult to identify karst geological characteristics based on seismic data, so to solve this problem, a digital model including the coal measure strata and complete karst system was established based on the karst status of a coal mine in the Huaibei area of China. The entire process of seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation was simulated and then the model was restored according to the seismic interpretation. Based on the results, karst identification and water inrush risk prediction were tried. The results allowed the overall karst geological framework, karst cave system, and stratum contact relationships to be restored more truly. Thus, seismic data can provide accurate geological information for large-scale hydrogeological mine exploration.
