Subbottom Profiler

A subbottom profiler is a specialized sonar device used primarily in marine and geological research. It sends sound waves beneath the water's surface to detect and map the layers of sediments and geological structures below the seabed. By interpreting the echoes that return, scientists can visualize what lies beneath the ocean floor, such as types of sediment, underwater features, and potential resources. This technology is valuable for various applications, including environmental studies, oil and gas exploration, and archaeological investigations, enabling better understanding of underwater landscapes and geological history.
