Unique Tech Helps Monitor Underwater Volcano
Helping the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) and both Canarian Universities to closely monitor the underwater volcano Tagoro off the coast of El Hierro Island in the Canary archipelago, RTsys has designed a combined seismic and acoustic system especially for the project. RTsys designed a system combining three geophones – two pointing horizontally and one vertically – to measure ground movement in the area. A hydrophone was added to record the noise caused by the ground or by bubbles in the water formed by vibrations. Submerged in October 2016, the

steady growth, MacArntey reports. Prior to the official signing of the representative agreement, EMS and MacArtney have cooperated on numerous occasions. For instance, MacArtney NEXUS telemetry and SubConn connectivity supplied by EMS played a central role to interface the IEO (Spanish Institute of Oceanography) Politolana subsea towed camera sledge which was sent to investigate and record video and data from the El Hierro submarine volcanic eruption in 2011. Most recently, EMS has integrated another NEXUS multiplexer for the IEO, on a deep camera system called EMS DSC-2013, which is a rapid
