OCEANOGRAPHY AND MANAGEMENT OF THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT

METHODS OF SEABOTTOM EXPLORATION

  • The crucial role of marine geophysical prospecting methods/techniques in the great development of Sequence Stratigraphy.
  • Single-channel and multi-channel seismic-reflection profiling (basic principles, equipment, methodology).
  • Bathymetric and side-scan sonar surveys (basic principles, equipment, methodology) as forerunners for seismic-reflection profiling. Magnetometer surveys (basic principles, equipment, methodology).
  • Conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) profiling systems asprimary tools for determining essential physical properties of seawater column.
  • Design and performance of oceanographic cruises for the implementation of research and technical projects (instrumentation and case studies).
  • Fundamentals for the processing and analysis of marine geophysical data using the Teledyne RESON PDS2000, HYPACK 2020, Chesapeake Technology SonarWiz, Coda Octopus, EdgeTech Discover and SBE Data Processing / Seasave software packages.
