Marine Equipment

With the establishment of the MTU working group in 1994, equipment for marine geophysical measurements was purchased by funding through university, DFG and BMBF. In the course of our research we also started to design and develop instrumentation to improve quality, resolution and performance.

Have a closer look at details here:

Sensors

Streamer, Transducers
