June 2013 review details four submarine geolocation technologies for a 2012 CO2 release experiment offshore Oban, Scotland. The QICS1 experiment involved 200 instrument deployments, collection of 1,300 samples, and placement of 24 seabed indicator cages. The report compares audio (acoustic) and visual (photography, video) techniques for locating CO2 bubble streams and equipment.
Use Cases
- Compare acoustic and visual geolocation techniques for tracking CO2 bubble stream location in marine sediment.
- Plan future seabed experiments using data on 200 instrument deployments and 1,300 sample collections.
- Evaluate technology for recording equipment locations based on the installation of 1600 m of cable and 24 seabed cages.
Strengths
- Based on a real-world experiment releasing 4.2 tonnes of CO2 and monitoring a ~350m2 plume area.
- Includes quantitative operational details: 200 instrument deployments, 1,300 samples collected, 1600 m of cable installed.
Limitations
- Data is a technology review report, not a primary dataset of sensor readings or geolocation coordinates.
- Temporal scope is limited, with technology models current only as of June 2013.
