HOW TO MAKE MARINE GEOLOGY
A series of video bites

Playlists on Youtube

In order to be able to plan, scientifically and operationally, a drilling well on the ocean floor, it is essential to obtain a series of data and information on the seabed using marine geology and geophysical investigations.
This video series is designed to introduce university students, or prospective students, to marine geology. Engineers and researchers who work daily in the field of marine geology and geophysics tell how they work at sea and in the laboratory. We think that the videos may also be of interest to professionals who are not experts in this subject, or to non-professionals intrigued by the geological and geophysical exploration of the ocean floor.
