Field Equipment

Construction and Design

Tailor Made Equipment for Science

The observation and analysis of the Earth system requires specially designed measurement technology and analyzing tools. We develop custom solutions to enable scientific field work under the most severe conditions.

High Resolution Topographic Surveying

Mapping the world in 3D

We have a collection of field equipment for the acquisition of high resolution topographic data which enables us to investigate magnitudes and patterns of surface processes such as fluvial erosion and deposition, rockfalls, landslides, and debris flows.

Seismic Devices and Software

Seismic Stations for Autonomous Acquisition and Transmission of Data

Broadband seismometers, geophones, and data loggers enable us in combination with custom software libraries for the preparation, analysis and visualisation of data to investigate Earth surface dynamics at the catchment scale.
