Seismic Equipment
Passive seismic equipment, including short-period and broadband three-component seismometers, high-fidelity solar-powered data loggers, and portable “all-in-one” seismic nodes.
These are based at the Australian National University. Please check instrument availability here contact Dr Michelle Salmon for more information.
Magnetotelluric Equipment
Portable electromagnetic equipment including 25 Earth data logger long-period MT sets; 20 LEMI-424 long-period MT sets; up to 25 LEMI-423 broadband MT sets; and 5 Phoenix MTU-5C ultra-broadband MT sets. 5 licences of Geotools (CGG), 5 licences of EMPower (Phoenix) and (TBA) access to CGG 3D MT Inversion software.
These are based at the University of Adelaide. Please contact Prof Graham Heinson for more information.
Ocean Bottom Seismometers
Equipment includes 5 sets of Guralp ‘Liber’ and 2 Nanometrics ‘Abalone’ broadband ocean bottom seismometers (OBS). Users must be able to support trained technical personnel and have scientific personnel with prior OBS experience on hand. Ship-time and insurance of the equipment while in transit and on the seafloor is the responsibility of the proponents of experiments.
These are based at the Research School of Earth Science, Australian National University. Please contact Dr Michelle Salmon for more information.
Petrophysical Equipment
Portable petrophysical equipment, including downhole seismic equipment and earthquake aftershock recorders.
These are hosted at AuScope’s Subsurface Observatory at The University of Melbourne. Please contact Dr David Belton for more information.
Reflection Seismic Equipment
ANSIR is able to arrange reflection experiments for a wide variety of project goals, survey parameters, logistics, permitting and licensing requirements and consequent equipment requirements.
These are based at Geoscience Australia. Please contact Marina Costelloe or Donna Cathro for more information.
