5th Workshop "Seabed Acoustics" 2011

Workshop Venue 2011: Hotel Neptun 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 light-plus sub-bottom profiler and sidescan sonar,
  • INNOMAR compact sub-bottom profiler (new generation 2011),
  • L-3 ELAC Nautik multibeam echosounder SeaBeam 1180,
  • Ship Motion Control (SMC) motion (HRP) sensor IMU-108.
