Conducting surveys of sub-sea environments<\/h2><\/div>
Part of what we do at ABYSSA entails conducting surveys to draw up inventories of sub-sea environments and resources, to depths of 6000 metres.<\/div><\/div>[vc_row_inner gap=”35″ css=”.vc_custom_1617882607012{margin-top: 35px !important;margin-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]

ABYSSA's survey system<\/h3><\/div>
Using different sensors and probes, data acquired by ABYSSA’s survey system can be used to respond to, or help respond to, various issues addressed by communities and authorities responsible for the deep oceans in their care, by the international community and by industrial operators.<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]This may include (non-exhaustive list):<\/strong><\/p>\n
    \n
  • Locating and assessing the potential and the nature of resources and deposits (topo-bathymetry, substrate, hydrology, typology of mineral resources, etc.)<\/li>\n
  • Assesing the richness and sensitivity of ecosystems (topo-bathymetry, major ecosystems, specific biodiversity, hydrology, currents and water-column density, etc.)<\/li>\n
  • Monitoring climate change: (carbon capture and transfer, recycling organic matter, hydrology (pH), currents and water-column density, flow, etc.)<\/li>\n
  • Locating and characterising underwater objects (topo-bathymetry, magnetometry, imaging, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
