New generation of ocean bottom seismometers

We present the newest development of an ocean bottom seismometer. The equipment represents the achievement of a joint work from different scientific and technological disciplines such as electronic, mechanic, acoustic, communications, information technology, marine geophysics, etc. This sophisticated equipment allows to record useful active and passive seismicity information, as well as other wavefronts, with multiple applications to the marine environment research. We are in the first series prototype hoping to improve many of the aspects that keep the equipment useful to work in deep-water areas.
