Days of work!
We are surveying the study area in front of Marzamemi (Siracusa).
We are investigating seafloor between 30 and 100 m .. and we found wonderful morphologies possible related to the occurrence of coralligenous!
We are so excited!
It’s time for calibration.
We spent all day in assembly and calibration.
The Multibeam Echosounder is an acoustic device. It measures the time of acoustic waves travelling into the water column to reconstruct the topography of the seafloor. Data collected allow us to create a digital terrain model of the study site.
The multibeam system works together with a motion sensor, to correct picth, roll and heading of the device, plus a sound velocity profiler, a probe for the calibration of the speed of the acoustic waves into the water.
The assembly and the calibration are delicate and fundamental steps for the success of the field survey.
Motion sensor is .. acting up, but we never give up!
MOB!
Alessandra, Luca and Andrea are preparing the boat and all the instruments! Stay tuned!
CBR1 has started!
Sicilia, here we are!
The first campaign of CresciBluReef (CBR1) has started!
Part of the team of Milano-Bicocca is reaching Marzamemi to start the first survey of the study site!
Hello from a foggy Mount ETNA!
Cresci Blu Reef is started!
This morning we had our kickoff meeting and the project is officially started!
There were the presentation of all the staff, an active debate on collection phases and development of the prototype for the ROV and the planning for the next actions!
Mood UP and so much to do!
Let’s get started!
Cresci Blu Reef is coming: Stay tuned!
Cresci Blu Reef project is getting started in few days!
