This database stores permanent outdoors historical markers and commemorative plaques. It is not for memorials, dedication and donor plaques, survey disk "monuments" or gravestones. It is not a listing of historical sites. You will find photographs of memorials, dedication and donor plaques, survey disks, gravestones, and historical sites in this database, but they are shown because a historical marker pointed them out, or because the plaque, monument or gravestone was itself inscribed with a bit of history, qualifying it as a historical marker. 4, record 2, English, - disk%20monument

Three-dimensional(3D) seismic surveys utilise 2D grids of seismic sources and receivers deployed on the ground surface. The seismic response of the ground is recorded as a time series corresponding to each source-receiver pair, and the wave propagation time becomes the third dimension of the data set.... If a 3D seismic survey is repeated at several time intervals, this historical time(as opposed to the wave propagation time) becomes a fourth dimension, hence the name 4D or time-lapse seismic. The 4D approach allows a detailed description of the evolution of the reservoir, but the overall cost of the survey escalates rapidly by repeating conventional 3D surveys. 4, record 3, English, - time%2Dlapse%20seismic

Afin d'obtenir une image plus précise et plus fiable du sous-sol, on emploie la technique de la sismique 3D [...] Elle permet même souvent de repérer directement les hydrocarbures dans les couches géologiques. Les récepteurs sont placés en nappes afin de construire une image du sous-sol en volume (en trois dimensions). La technique de la sismique 4D va plus loin encore, en faisant intervenir la quatrième dimension : le temps. Sur un gisement en production, on effectue plusieurs enregistrements successifs de sismique 3D, à intervalles de temps réguliers. La comparaison des enregistrements permet ensuite de suivre l'évolution du gisement pendant sa production. 4, record 3, French, - sismique%204D
