        Oceans Monitoring

        The oceans play a crucial role in climate regulation, biodiversity and the provision of natural resources. Marine geology has an essential role in understanding these processes and helping to manage the oceans for the well-being of the overall ecosystem.

      • sunshine
        • OVERVIEW

          Glaciers are melting at an accelerated rate, which can cause an increase in earthquakes related to the release of pressure under the ice caps. Additionally, melting glaciers can increase the risk of volcanic eruptions by releasing pressure on underlying volcanoes.

          Ocean observation has become more and more sophisticated with the development of high-tech “in-situ” instruments. For example, today’s ocean observation instruments include floating buoys for real-time monitoring for estimating mammal population in critical areas and seismic monitoring of the seabed

          APPLICATIONS

          How to monitor Thwaites Glacier which is melting fast?

          The Thwaites Glacier in an isolated part of Antarctica has the potential to cause a catastrophic rise in global sea levels. It is melting fast and accounts for four percent of the world’s annual sea level rise. The scientific community would like to monitor Thwaites in order that they can determine how quickly it is warming and how threatening it could prove to be. Sercel's MATS3G acoustic modem was used on the nupiri muka, a fully autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV).

          Earth monitoring

          Seismic monitoring is essential for the assessment of geological hazards such as earthquakes, landslides and ground subsidence. By continuously monitoring seismic activity, we can detect changes in seismically active regions and identify high-risk areas.

        • Earth monitoring
          • OVERVIEW

            Human civilization is having an increasingly powerful influence on the Earth. Climate change can also influence extreme weather events such as storms and precipitation, which in turn can affect tectonic and volcanic processes. Earth observations are invaluable for assessing and mitigating the negative impacts. This information is used to develop building codes, land use policies and risk mitigation strategies.

            WHY SERCEL

          • worker seismic acquisition software
          • Based on decades of experience in land seismic acquisition, Sercel can provide its expertise in earth monitoring providing very high resolution of subsoil imaging. 

            Whether wireless or wired, the capabilities of our sensors and the analysis of the interpretation of the imagery generated are unmatched. Speed of installation and ultra high resolution allow our customers to know the state of the subsoil and also to monitor the variability close to the surface over the long term. It is therefore possible to characterize sites with precision and to monitor all potential variability.

            Some specific applications that Sercel can contribute for Earth monitoring include:

            • Measuring land-use change (such as deforestation) with impact on sub-soil
            • Monitoring to alert earthquakes, volcano eruption
            • Evaluation of potential risks after earthquakes

            Geothermal

            Geothermal energy is derived from the Earth's energy, which is converted into heat. It's crucial to have a clear understanding of underground before implementation of geothermal solution for exemple on a large scale.

          • corporate banner
            • OVERVIEW

              Vertical or deep geothermal energy requires digging a very deep well if we are on industrial or civil exploitation (80 to 3000 m depending on the nature of the subsoil).

              It is below 50 meters deep that you really start to take advantage of the terrestrial heat, the temperature reaching 40°C / 104°F.

              It's critical to have a high-resolution visualization and analysis for characterization of near-surface variability to optimize use of geothermal activity.

                  Passive Acoustic Monitoring Equipment - Quietsea buoy

                  During all the steps of windfarm installation, it's very important to define mammal population presence but also to be alerted during operation.

                  Offshore windfarm projects are mainly in coastal areas either on cetacean (whale, dolphin, and porpoise) migration roads or with presence of marine mammals. When construction generates acoustic noise at sea (pile driving, vessels, etc.), measures to accurately assess the abundance of cetaceans on the area and to prevent any interference with cetaceans during maritime works are necessary and sometimes required by regulators.
