River Rhone, France

Hanno Keil, Volkhard Spiess

The survey on the River Rhone was our first survey of this kind. A conventional ship, normally used to transport goods, was used for the survey. This commercial survey for DMT company was targeting the shallow subsurface of a few hundred meters to image the fill of the Rhone valley and the possible history of tectonic activity in Pleistocene and recent times.
