Geoforce would like to thank Vice-Admiral James King (Ret’d) for his contribution to our white paper: 'A CANADIAN SOLUTION TO SUBSURFACE SEAFLOOR MAPPING - Defence Applications for the Geoforce DTS Profiler' https://www.geoforcegroup.com/white-paper-jan-2020

Geoforce Group has successfully completed system-acceptance sea trials with the Geological Survey of Japan in the East China Sea. The Geoforce DTS will be used for mapping faults in the marine subsurface and for long-term earthquake studies #subbottomprofiler #subsurfacemapping

Geoforce Group is a proud contributor to the field of Oceanography. Since our early days, our Geoforce DTS sub-bottom profiler has acquired nearly 500,000 km-lines of high-resolution subsea mapping data. Much of which has been used for geological and geophysical scientific research studies throughout the world's universities, research institutions and government agencies. This week marks 150 years of Nature magazine. The multidisciplinary scope of Nature is revealed by an analysis of more than 88,000 papers Nature has published since its first issue in November 1869. Watch this stunning visual portrayal of Nature's 150 years of papers so intricately connected in a beautiful network of scientific discoveries - each paper linking those that came before with those that followed. https://www.youtube.com/watch

Earth is a blue planet; over 70 percent of its surface is covered by ocean (NOAA, 2014). Life relies on the ocean and its processes, and yet we have only brushed the surface of exploring the realm to its fullest detail. There has been increased focus on better understanding the ocean through ocean exploration and advancements in technology in an effort to map and describe its regions. Sub-Bottom Profilers (SBP) are a non-invasive, acoustic remote-sensing technique used in ge...ological studies to map the top layers of the seabed and provide quantitative seabed assessment, since properties of the first few meters of the seabed greatly influence the design and planning of offshore oil rigs and other seabed supported structures (Hutchins, McKeown & King, 1976) and are used for a multitude of marine applications. However not all SBPs are alike, and in choosing a SBP system, there are a number of considerations: vertical resolution, spatial resolution, power, repeatability and operational logistics. Often the choice of one parameter is at the expense of others, so the choice is often survey specific.
