Geophysical detection of near-surface voids caused by mining, tunnels, karst features, etc., is a persistent problem that has not been solved either consistently or across multiple geologic settings. Multiple methods have been used with varying degrees of success. We present shallow seismic data collected at a test site with a 9.1-m deep tunnel in unconsolidated sediments similar to geologic settings found along the southwest US border. Test results demonstrate the capability of using P-wave diffraction and surface wave backscatter techniques to detect a purposebuilt subterranean tunnel. Data were processed blindly by remote personnel, who were not aware of the target location, and results are in excellent agreement with the ground truth. These methods show promise for both efficient, production-scale data acquisition and real-time automated data processing.
