GeoSyn Ocean Bottom Station (OBS)

GeoSyn Ocean Bottom Station (OBS) redefines seismic observation and marine exploration. Housed in a resilient 17 or 13-inch glass sphere with a protective plastic casing, this technology is tailored for both passive seismic observations and marine exploration projects.

​

One notable feature is its user-friendly deployment and recovery process, eliminating the need for specialized vessels. The OBS's electronic components are securely sealed within the glass sphere, safeguarding them from the challenging marine environment.

​

For precise data quality control and location of the instrument on the seafloor, the OBS employs an advanced transducer system. The station's design allows for maintenance tasks, such as data reading and battery recharging, without the necessity of opening the sealed unit. This not only streamlines operational processes but also enhances the longevity of the OBS.
