Research Summary

Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) are instruments deployed on the ocean floor to detect and record seismic waves generated by earthquakes, volcanic activity, or other geologic events. These seismometers consist of a seismometer sensor encased in a pressure-resistant housing and are equipped with a hydrophone to detect underwater sound waves. When seismic waves travel through the Earth's crust and reach the ocean floor, the OBS sensors detect the ground motion and record the seismic data. This data provides valuable information about the Earth's structure, tectonic activity, and seismic hazards. Ocean Bottom Seismometers are used in various scientific research projects, including studies of earthquake and volcanic activity, exploration of the Earth's interior, and monitoring of oceanic plate movements. They are deployed for temporary or long-term monitoring in oceanic regions worldwide, often as part of international collaboration efforts in seismology and geophysics.
