As part of a team-building activity and a training exercise, AFFILIATED RESEARCHERS crew navigated to, snorkeled, and conducted side-scan surveying on an unidentified shipwreck in the Great Lakes. A short video of AFFILIATED RESEARCHERS’ crew snorkeling this shipwreck was recorded and can be viewed at https://lnkd.in/ggp5UsV. AFFILIATED RESEARCHERS crew utilized its Klein 3500 Hydrochart system to collect side-scan data of the shipwreck. The Klein system collects more than 60,000 side-scan data points per second, and provides excellent ½ inch image resolution at a swath range of up to ¼ mile. In addition to side-scan data obtained, the Klein 3500 system also collects co-registered multi-beam data simultaneously during the survey to produce a multi-beam survey. Multi-beam surveys are the preferred method of bathymetric surveying when complete coverage and high-resolution are required. Organized in 1990, AFFILIATED RESEARCHERS has become a recognized leader in providing high-quality environmental and technical services throughout the US and beyond. AFFILIATED RESEARCHERS professional staff includes Aquatic Biologists, Botanist, Ecologists, Entomologist, Geologist, GIS-GPS Specialists, Hydrographers, Project Managers, Resource Manager, Surveyor, and Technicians
