Advances in Seafloor Instrumentation

Session ID#: 83319

Session Description:
The pace of technological advances across all disciplines of geophysical data acquisition has accelerated in recent years. Such advances as fiber-optic seismic waveform reconstruction, miniaturized  pressure sensors, robotic sensor deployment, and data extraction techniques and leveraging of power and processing methods designed for space missions, have provided inspiration for enhanced ocean-bottom sensing for seismic, acoustic, pressure, current, turbidity and chemical signatures.  In this session we invite contributions that cover sensor design, on-board processing, innovative data retrieval techniques and research results arising from recent technological advances, as well as updates on existing and proposed seafloor monitoring systems across all geophysical and oceanographic disciplines.
