Abstract: This paper analyzes and summarizes the identification technique and its application of the seismic exploration of collapse column in Carbon-Permian strata,northern China,using the interpretation and practice of seismic data.It has guiding significance to distinguish and delimit collape colnmn section.Seismic section,horizontal time section,amplitude horizontal slice,acoustic impedance inversion and coherence cubetechnology etc. have their individual special result in locating collapse column and their spatial relationships.A coal mine in Shanxi has numerous collapse columns,the use of seismic identification technique has achieved distinct results.
