5th Workshop "Seabed Acoustics" 2011
The 5th workshop "Seabed Acoustics" took place November 17/18, 2011 in Rostock-Warnemünde (Germany).
Thanks to all of the more than 100 attendees from 11 countries for coming and to the speakers giving presentations on a wide range of applications. During the breaks and dinner there were many opportunities to exchange experiences and for networking.
At the second day there was a live demo of different survey eqipment on a river boat.

Survey Equipment Demo at Sea
During the second day equipment of different manufacturers was shown in operation on a river boat. All acoustic equipment (SBP, sidescan and MBES) was operated simultaneously without any interference visible in the data sets.
- INNOMAR SES-2000 light plus sub-bottom profiler and sidescan sonar,
- INNOMAR SES-2000 compact sub-bottom profiler (new generation 2011),
- L-3 ELAC Nautik multibeam echosounder SeaBeam 1180,
- Ship Motion Control (SMC) motion (HRP) sensor IMU-108.
Thanks to all people who made this workshop a success!
