geophysical consultant with MEDUSA.
"This animated GIF presents five geophysical
surveys, where MEDUSA radiometry was combined with 'multibeam' soundings. The
blue to yellow to red colors describe the grainsize. The green colours
indicate the presence of appr. 10.000 cubic metres 'tracer' sediment, which
has been dumped in order to map the sediment movements as result from tidal
currents. This information, acquired by the MEDUSA system, was draped over the
morphology data. For this I used Surfer 8. Please visit our website at www.medusa-online.com."
