Learn what bottom-towed seismic acquisition is, how ocean-bottom cables (OBC) and nodes (OBN) work, and their key advantages for marine geohazard surveys.

For decades, the geophysical industry focused almost entirely on increasing high-frequency content to achieve better image resolution. However, over the last twenty years, there has been a significant shift in interest toward the low-frequency end of the spectrum. While it might seem like a small detail, the difference between 1 Hz and 2Hz represents a major technical […]
