DEA Receives Teledyne Marine SeaBat T51-R Integrated Dual Head

David Evans and Associates (DEA), a US consulting firm, has taken delivery of Teledyne Marine's SeaBat T51-R Integrated Dual Head (IDH) system.DEA’s use of RESON’s sensors has evolved from the early applications of the SeaBat 9001 through to the SeaBat T51 and Integrated Dual Head solutions in use today. Applications include coastal and inland infrastructure inspections, site characterization and habitat mapping using normalized backscatter, navigation and nautical charting surveys, civil works design and construction surveys, cable and pipeline route surveys and inspection, and

Impact Subsea Unveils Topside Control System, Advanced Subsea Multiplexer

suited for shallow and deep-water applications.The system features four versatile communication ports, each supporting Ethernet, RS232 or RS485 protocols. To ensure scalability, users can daisy-chain multiple seaMux units together or leverage RS485 multidrop and y-splice cables to host multiple serial sensors on a single port.  Each port is paired with a software-controllable 24VDC power output featuring real-time power monitoring. Data transmission to the surface is flexible, utilizing either standard Ethernet or high-bandwidth VDSL telemetry over a single screened twisted pair.Unity - Topside

Ocean-Bottom Seismometers Play Crucial Role in Offshore Sensing

in 2023, around 100 of these have been deployed annually in locations ranging from the Arctic to New Zealand. By placing seismometers directly on the seafloor, researchers can detect much smaller offshore earthquakes and determine their locations far more accurately than is possible using land-based sensors alone.But positioning them and, crucially, recovering them to download their data, then getting them ready for the next deployment, isn’t simple, especially when locations range from ice-covered Arctic waters to 4,700 m deep abyssal plain. And because the NSFI team relies on diverse &ldquo

R.M. Young Company Launches Re-Engineered SNOdar Snow Depth Sensor

snowfall, when reliable data is needed most. Across environmental monitoring, infrastructure management and public safety, accurate snow depth data is a critical operational input. Obtaining that data reliably during active storm conditions has long presented a technical challenge. Most snow depth sensors rely on ultrasonic technology, which is susceptible to signal degradation in falling snow. SNOdar uses LIDAR, Light Detection and Ranging, to provide continuous, accurate measurement even in the middle of a snowstorm. R.M. Young Company, a manufacturer of professional meteorological
