High Resolution Echo Sounders and Acoustic Systems for Precision Seafloor Exploration
Welcome to the SyQwest Inc Blog.
Shell Offshore collected marine seismic data in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas in support of potential future oil and gas leasing and development. Deep seismic acquisition for SOI was conducted by WesternGeco using the Gilavar, a source vessel that towed an airgun array as well as hydrophone streamers, and the Syqwest StrataBox to record reflected...
The StrataBox-HD now uses FM CHIRP processing! FM CHIRP enhances and improves vertical layer sediment resolution significantly. Same seafloor bottom represented by CHIRP processing, vs. CW signal processing. Quite the image improvement, if we do say so ourselves.Additionally the following significant enhancements in design have been made. 16 Bit Full Spectrum CHIRP signal processing. High bandwidth digital...

CR Environmental, Inc. performed a bathymetric survey of part of Gowanus Bay and all navigable portions of the Gowanus Canal, located in Brooklyn, NY, on January 5, 2010 for Henningson, Durham and Richardson Architecture and Engineering, P.C. utilizing the SyQwest Bathy 500 and a SyQwest HydroBox. The objective of the survey was to map seabed...
A GEBCO meeting in Copenhagen twelve years ago began the push to develop an autonomous drifting echo sounding buoy (SSPARR or Seafloor Sounding in Polar and Remote Regions). It coincided, not incidentally, with Clinton’s removal of Selective Availability (SA) from GPS navigation, and the availability of worldwide Iridium satellite communications. ~ Dr John. K. Hall, Geological...
