Estudios Geofísicos en el techo de México

In 2019, geophysical studies were carried out at the highest mountain of Mexico, Pico de Orizaba volcano with a height of 5636 m above sea level (asl). Through the application of seismic refraction and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) geophysical techniques, current thicknesses of the Jamapa glacier and unconsolidated sediments in the upper Jamapa watershed were determined. The results are of great importance in gathering information on this particular area, which has been the source of multiple lahars (debris flows) in the recent past.
