High-resolution 3D sub-bottom profiling
Principles and case study
With sub-bottom profilers it is possible to investigate the subseafloor. However, common sub-bottom profilers are only providing two-dimensional depth slices of the subseafloor, that are difficult to interpret and that cannot display the complex three-dimensional reality of the subseafloor. Therefore there is a high demand for systems, capable of mapping the sediment three-dimensionally. The article describes what is possible with the SES-2000 sixpack from Innomar.
