Laboratory of Marine Geology

Research in the field of marine geology is primarily concerned with mapping the seabed features and biocoenosis. Studies are aimed at defining seabed dynamics as a function of both ongoing climate change and human activities. It uses both geophysical instruments such as Side Scan Sonar and Single Beam and underwater robots (ROVs) capable of acquiring high-resolution images.

• Side Scan Sonar KLEIN 3000
• Single Beam ECHOSOUNDER ELAC Hydrostar 4300
• ROV Elettronica Enne (mod. Velociraptor)
• ROV DeepTrekker DTG3
