Kevin Heath (Aviation Research Group Orkney & Shetland)
The best program for learning the principles of subbottom operations and data interpretation.
The only subbottom training program currently available. Close to one hour of detailed explanations, starting with basics such as sound velocity, TVG, and then moving into image interpretation.
The program answers questions such as:
Can you detect a shipwreck with a Subbottom Profiler?
The best introductory program for learning the principles of sonar and magnetometer surveys. Almost two hours of example data and animations detailing what the techniques can and cannot accomplish. The program answers questions such as:
At what sonar range can you detect a 55-gallon drum?
Can you locate a wooden sailing shipwreck with a magnetometer?
What survey line spacing should you use?
"This is really good if you are new to the subject and as in my case, helped plug a number of holes in what I already knew, the content is quite thorough and explained in clear simple terms, lots of actual imagery, fantastic in some cases."
