MARINE GEOPHYSICS RESEARCH

The research includes and aims to reveal the seismic-magnetic-gravity properties of the sea floor in our seas in terms of both the depth of impact of the systems used in Marine Geophysics studies and the operating principles of the systems, as well as the determination of non living natural resources, buried geological structures underground, sea floor sediments, understanding the geological behavior of all of these units, determining changes over time, marine-related risks (active fault, submarine landslide, etc. ), drilling platform positioning, site selection studies of artificial islands to be used for nuclear power plants and oil drilling operations, finding gas leaks of the seabed and water column, and in shallow waters in the search for minerals such as sand or gravel).

EQUIPMENT FOR MARINE GEOPHYSICS

VERY SEVERE DISCRIMINATION SEISMIC SYSTEM WITH A SMALL CAPACITY

Single channel seismic data is obtained using a boomer or sparker as a source in this Geoacoustics brand equipment. It can potentially obtain high separation by offering penetration of up to approximately 100m from the seafloor, depending on the condition of the existing sediments.

SCREENING OF SEDIMENTS (SUB-BOTTOM PROFILER)

At shallow depths, a penetration of upto 45 meters from the seabed, using the Innomar brand high resolution sediment sounder system, according to the properties of the sediment, is possible.
