Seismic Sessions

Seismic Sessions are our live webinars created to support professionals and newcomers across hydrography, oceanography, geophysics, and marine operations. Each session brings practical insights into the tools and technologies shaping today’s projects, from sonar and navigation systems to USVs, ROVs, and more.

Owners can learn how to get the most from their equipment, specialists can sharpen their skills and apply the learning toward their own professional development, and those new to the field can build confidence with expert guidance. Whatever your background, Seismic Sessions give you the chance to learn directly from experts, ask questions in real time, and take your knowledge further.
