I am a marine geologist who got interested in working with marine acoustic equipment. This type of equipment uses sound to make for instance detailed (3D) bathymetric maps of the sea floor and sediment profiles of the seabed, look for fish or other `objects’ in the water column and navigate under water (like a GPS system). My main task is to help researchers in selecting the proper acoustic equipment for their work at sea, help with cruise planning and prepare equipment. If needed I will join research cruises to operate acoustic equipment and will do data processing and interpretation.
