This project provides geophysical and swath services for internal and external clients. This project is committed to providing up to 120 days of swath processing/collection services under Geoscience Australia's obligations to the Marine National Facility.
An additional 180 days of swath support will be provided for Geoscience Australia surveys. This project provides the majority of the support for the seismic interpretation platforms within PMD and developing/producing specialist geophysical products for projects within the Division. This project is involved in development of tools required for the integration and interpretation of acoustic data within PMD.
An improved understanding of the Australian marine environment through the enhancement of bathymetric and acoustic data. Enhanced capacity for scientific research through the use of acoustic techniques on and derived from, the R/V Southern Surveyor (Marine National Facility) or other vessels. Other outcomes include improving geophysical techniques and processes to detect evidence of hydrocarbon migration and seepage and developing cost effective and stable data interpretation platforms within the Petroleum Marine Division.
