Welcome to the Research Group
Marine Technology / Environmental Research
(Fachgebiet Meerestechnik / Umweltforschung)
Our research group was established in 1994 at the Department of Geosciences at the University of Bremen, contributing to research and education in geophysics.
The main focus is the application of different seismo- and hydroacoustic systems to image and analyze subseafloor structures, to understand sedimentation processes and to deduce sediment properties as well as physical processes acting on and in the seafloor. For this purpose we participate in research cruises to different regions of the worlds oceans and use a broad range of different mobile and shipbound acoustic systems with variable signal frequencies and variable signal reception technology.
Since our foundation we specialized on the application of high frequency (> 100 Hz) multichannel seismics and the usage of narrow beam subbottom profilers. Special expertise also exists on seismic measurements in shallow (3 - 30 m) water environment, not only offshore but also onshore on rivers and lakes.
Based on this expertise, members of our group are responsible for teaching the theory and application of hydroacoustic measurement methods in the course of the bachelor and master study of the Department of Geosciences and also participate in courses on general topics of Geophysics.
