Seislab

Seismic Laboratory, SeisLab, was founded in 2005 in order to collect, process and interpret multichannel seismic, deep towed side scan sonar / chirp sub-bottom profiler and multibeam bathymetry data onboard of our Research Vessel “R/V K.Piri Reis” in the extent of the Gas Hydrate research project “National Gas Hydrate Research in our seas” supported by Turkish Prime Ministry – State Planning Organisation.
