Abstract
OBS experiments in Australia have been limited so far, with the only data set collected by Geoscience Australia in 1995-1996 on a number of coincident reflection/refraction seismic transects across the NW Australian Margin. In 2013 Australia, for the first time in its history, will obtain a National Pool of ocean-bottom seismographs (OBS) suitable for multi-scale experiments at sea and for onshore-offshore combined observations. Twenty broadband OBS were purchased for short and long term deployment (up to 12 months) to a maximum water depth of 6 km. The instruments will be made available to Australian researchers via ANSIR, with only the costs of mobilization and deployment to be met. It is anticipated that the OBS facility will greatly enhance the research capabilities of Australian scientists in the area of Earth imaging, off-shore exploration and natural hazard assessment.
