Notice Title

Provision of Ocean-Bottom Seismographs

Notice Description

The University of Southampton wishes to procure a small number (5-10 depending on cost) of broadband ocean-bottom seismographs to assess their interoperability with our existing instrument pool, with a view to expansion of these numbers in the mid-to-longer term. They will be used primarily for solid Earth imaging using natural sources of seismic energy (e.g. earthquakes, ocean waves) but will also be used in experiments that use manmade controlled seismic sources (e.g. airguns). Tenders or requests to participate must be submitted electronically via the University's electronic tendering portal, In Tend, found at the following address: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofsouthampton/aspx/home
