Site Characterization

Surveying a potential site for bathymetry, energy potential, etc.

Site characterization involves surveying a potential site for bathymetry, energy potential, and other characteristics specific to the location a device may be deployed. Both environmental characterizations and resource assessments typically involve a variety of data collection methods, including numerical modeling.
