Seafloor mapping is largely done by means of Multibeam Echo sounding (MBES) from the 2 dedicated geophysical vessels, the “MV Good Wind” and the “MV DP Star”. The sea floor images that are produced, offer detailed bathymetric data and high resolution distinctions between surfaces of sediment or hard rock outcrops.
This enables the identification of individual sediment layer types and thicknesses down to the bedrock or footwall surface.
Computer generated 3D digital elevation models (DEM) of the bedrock/footwall topography are produced from the seismic data to optimally direct the planning of sample site selection to be undertaken by “The Explorer”.
