A Note Regarding Technical<br />
Report M-TR135: Performance<br />
Comparisons Between <strong>Geometrics</strong><br />
G-880/881 and Marine Magnetics<br />
SeaSPY Systems<br />
Based on concerns over the test methodology<br />
employed by <strong>Geometrics</strong> when we tested Marine<br />
Magnetics’ SeaSPY magnetometer, we have elected<br />
to voluntary cease further publication of the<br />
Technical Report M-TR135, and have permanently<br />
withdrawn the report from circulation and removed<br />
it from our website.<br />
New to <strong>Geometrics</strong>.<strong>com</strong>:<br />
<strong>GeoEel</strong> Solid Digital<br />
<strong>Streamer</strong> & P-Cable<br />
<strong>Geometrics</strong> is pleased to announce the release of two<br />
new products for marine seismic surveys.<br />
The <strong>GeoEel</strong> Solid TM from <strong>Geometrics</strong>: Superior electronics<br />
with a patented solid active section design<br />
that delivers higher-quality data than ever before. The<br />
smallest-diameter solid design available (only 44.5 mm) ,<br />
the <strong>GeoEel</strong> Solid is easy to deploy, easy to transport and<br />
can be shipped by air. Click here to read more...<br />

The <strong>Geometrics</strong> Video Library:<br />
8250+ Viewers and Counting...<br />
<strong>Geometrics</strong> is pleased to present a video library for<br />
your review. Included are video tutorials, product<br />
demonstrations, and survey reviews. Our videos cover<br />
all of our product lines, a corporate overview and<br />
details about our highly trained, customer-centric<br />
rental and support department.<br />
<strong>Geometrics</strong> <strong>Streamer</strong> Manufacturing Group<br />
<strong>Geometrics</strong> is also proud to announce the shipment of its first <strong>GeoEel</strong> Solid to<br />
Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC; President: Hirobumi<br />
Kawano). The <strong>GeoEel</strong> Solid is part of a new marine research valued at<br />
17.3 Billion Yen or $207 Million USD.<br />
The P-Cable TM offers high resolution 3D<br />
surveying for detailed mapping of targets<br />
in the shallow subsurface. The revolutionary<br />
P-Cable system provides unparalleled data<br />
quality and resolution far exceeding<br />
conventional 3D. Expect <strong>com</strong>parable or better<br />
resolution than high-resolution 2D, but with<br />
the added benefit of 3D structural control.<br />

Magnetometer Upgrades<br />
<strong>Geometrics</strong> is pleased to announce some major upgrades to its G-882 TVG<br />
marine transverse gradiometer product. A new altimeter and housing (Image A) has<br />
been developed to ensure top performance. The new altimeter is higher frequency<br />
and thus less likely to interfere with a ship’s fathometer or side scan equipment.<br />
THE METALMAPPER:<br />
UXO Discrimination Made Easy<br />
The MetalMapper offers the ability to reduce UXO site<br />
remediation costs by 50%. It is a next generation UXO<br />
discrimination system capable of fully interrogating a<br />
target item to characterize the size, depth and shape<br />
or a buried object. This allows scrap metal to be<br />
distinguished from UXO. This instrument brings advanaced<br />
SERDP and ESTCP proven technology from the<br />
lab to the field. Click here to read more...<br />
Earthquake and Tsunami of Japan<br />
<strong>Geometrics</strong> would like to extend our thoughts and<br />
prayers to those affected by the earthquake and<br />
tsunami. <strong>Geometrics</strong> is owned by OYO Corporation<br />
of Japan and we are thankful that our colleagues and<br />
their familes are safe.<br />
We salute those who are making an effort to help<br />
and encourage our customers to do the same.<br />

We’ve also re-engineered the unit so that up to 60 lbs. (27 kg) of non-magnetic lead<br />
diver weights can be added easily (Image B) to ensure better depth control. The deeper<br />
tow will result in even more highly defined maps than ever before. Of course, more<br />
weight requires a simpler method of transferring the unit from the dock or boat to the<br />
sea. We’re now offering a newly engineered release mechanism for davit operation<br />
which can double as a tow point for small depressor fins (Image C).<br />
The <strong>Geometrics</strong> Model G-882TVG<br />
Transverse Gradiometer system mates<br />
the well-proven high-performance<br />
cesium sensor with internal highsensitivity<br />
and high-speed CM-221<br />
Larmor Counter for simultaneous gradient<br />
measurements. This advanced<br />
integrated magnetometer system provides<br />
unmatched versatility in performance,<br />
with a wide sensor separation<br />
for maximum target detection efficiency and survey cost effectiveness. The system<br />
<strong>com</strong>prises a transverse wing and two G-882 Cesium Vapor magnetometer fish with<br />
stabilizer weights and dihedral fins. Tow cables may be up to 150m in length with<br />
standard power supply or up to 700m with a high capacity voltage sense supply.<br />
