Underwater acoustics courses – by David Goodfellow

Modern offshore seismic prospecting methods and processing techniques used for prospecting and oil recovery in active wells will be among specific lectures. Given by Dr Robert Laws of Schlumberger Cambridge Research, the topic will be of interest not only to oil industry personnel but also to those concerned with environmental and conservation issues such as the impact of noise on marine animals.

Other course topics, which will be of particular interest to engineers, scientists, project managers and specialist sales executives, will deal with the fundamentals of basic and advanced operations. They will also cover various equipment and measuring standards in addition to providing a clear understanding of proper usage of measurements for sound levels.
