My LiDAR system is named R2Piew2 and so I need a name for my multibeam sonar. CPing3O? Suggestions welcomed.
Absolute glassy day out multibeaming on Kootenay Lake today with @jedokaplan.bsky.social and @katieehughes.bsky.social 🧪⚒️

Enroute to do some multibeam mapping of a very large, possible tsunamigenic landslide in BC and am reminded how drop dead gorgeous southern Alberta is😍🧪⚒️

Fantastic - and we need seamless multibeam coverage all the way up coastal BC
Seafloor enthusiasts! We now have a complete set of high resolution seafloor bathymetry grids for the Cascadia subduction zone (offshore Washington, Oregon & northern California) available for download! #USGS #data #science #mapping #MarineGeohazards

As we make our way to our study area, we map the seafloor under the ship! 🌊 Our multibeam echosounder sends acoustic waves to the ocean floor and records how much time they take to bounce back.

Looks like a geophysics search pattern. Line spacing might he sufficient for Multibeam. Any UXO dump sides there, sunken vessels, submaribes?

2/🌐 The map was created by integrating high-resolution #Norbit multibeam sonar data, collected via remotely operated vehicle with @nautiluslive.org and ship-based seafloor imaging multibeam surveys from @mbarinews.bsky.social expeditions.

We used a multibeam sonar to measure lake bathymetry and conduct repeat terminus scans. We found maximum lake depth of 200 m with a relatively flat floor, suggesting significant sediment infilling post retreat

Soooo who wants to go do some multibeam offshore Eureka???

Survey vessel Northern Storm is doing high resolution scans of cables that did not break, but where cable destroyer Yi Peng 3 did suspicious maneuvers the week before she broke the Baltic Sea cables.

The vessel has been active over both cable infra rich areas last year, but also other projects.

🧪⚒️ #NODSSUM cruise - WOW - Wainting on Weather with a multibeam survey and no Ulyx dive yesterday- after 5 days of work at the radioactive waste dump site. After 5 Ulyx dives we now located >1200 barrels in sonar maps, and sediment/water/fish sampling is well on the way… more details later…

"So what" you might say. "That's TEN THOUSAND YEARS ago!" Well, 10,000 isn't really that long in geological time. And I suspect there are more slides to be discovered. We need complete multibeam sonar and seismic surveys of the entire west coast to really nail down the recurrence intervals.

🥁Happy to announce the publication of "Multibeam seabed bathymetry of the Long-Term Ecological Research observatory HAUSGARTEN (Fram Strait)", another paper in our "25 years of HAUSGARTEN time series synthesis" series.

What about older than historic? As geologists, we are acutely aware that recurrence intervals for large catastrophic events can be greater than human timeframes. Well, yep there are some of those too.

With our new EM304 multibeam sonar upgrade, we can map deeper and more efficiently than ever before! This is especially critical as we will be exploring some of the deepest parts of the ocean in 2026. Learn more in our #blog: bit.ly/4etrb2F

A few years ago, I created animations to illustrate how geological sampling and surveys are conducted at sea. Here are two examples: 1) piston coring to collect long sediment cores 2) multibeam surveys to create maps of the seafloor. Animations are available here: sites.google.com/view/normand...
