GEOwarning is a compact, ultra low-cost digital accelerograph.  It integrates 3 axes MEMS accelerometer, 20bit digitizer, embedded linux OS and GPS or NTP  timing. Seedlink and Earthworm servers ensure reliable real time data telemetry while large storage volume ensures a long period of local data recording. The instrument has very low power consumption so it can operate powered from a small 12Vdc battery. Due to its small size and its flexibility of communication (Ethernet or WiFi) and timing (GPS or NTP), it can be easily installed at buildings and other structures.  The device supports a software configurable, variable range of +/-2g, +/-4g, +/-8g  presenting an ideal solution for a wide range of structural monitoring and early warning applications. Minimum data latency along with the calculation of an earthquake’s Cumulative Absolute Velocity (CAV) guarantee that the user can be immediately alerted just at the beginning of the event. Compact design is a competitive advantage and this is reflected in the price which is only a small fraction of the typical commercial accelerograph’s cost. The user is now able to deploy even five times more units for the same budget.

Geobit & ISTI join together at the AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, 9 – 13 Dec. 2019.

We are a team providing a complete seismic monitoring solution. 

With 65+ years of combined experience, GEObit and ISTI are joining forces to become the most competitive and fastest growing joint venture group in the seismic monitoring services industry.

Providing state-of-the-art seismic instruments, network design, installation techniques, data monitoring and processing services, our group is able to deliver a cost-effective total solution to the energy exploration & production industry, especially to the oil, gas and geothermal sector. Our key benefits are that we produce in-house hardware and software while installing and maintaining the microseismic monitoring network to ensure a high level of data quality and availability. In other words, we make the technology – we apply the technology – we offer the technology.

We have worldwide experience having installed and operated seismic networks all over the world, from Indonesia/Papua jungle to the Middle East desert, from Alaska glaciers to Himalayan Mountains. In the USA, we are currently running many dedicated microseismic monitoring projects with over 200 stations installed in the past 10 years.

Geobit presents at HAGI conference in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, November 2019

Geobit presents at HAGI conference in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, November 2019

GEObit is presenting at HAGI-IAGI-IAFMI-IATMI Joint Convention 2019 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, 25 – 28 November. The presentation is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov 26th, at 02.00 PM – 02.30 PM.

Nikos Germenis, will present new instruments releases by GEObit as well as our mature products. Several applications and case studies will be presented covering different sections of the industry, like real-time seismicity and micro-seismicity monitoring, structural monitoring, oil & gas, and geophysics. The performance is our instruments will be presented through case studies and comparisons with other commercial instruments. There will be a 15 min Q&A session, so all the questions will be answered.

Seasonal and Diurnal Dynamics of Subglacial Channels: Observations Beneath an Alpine Glacier

Seasonal and Diurnal Dynamics of Subglacial Channels: Observations Beneath an Alpine Glacier

Geobit provided C100 & SRi32L units to a UGA, (University Grenoble Alpes), research team, led by Dr. Ugo Nanni and after two-year measurements, on 11 October 2019, they published their study on “The Cryosphere” journal of the European Geosciences Union.

More info about this study could be found here.

This study tackles the current lack of observations of the subglacial hydrology components. Here, the research team provides unique two-year-long continuous measurements of seismic power induced by subglacial water-flow together with in-situ measured glacier basal sliding speeds. Using these observations, the research team directly inverts for key subglacial channels properties and investigates the links between channels, cavities and basal slip from seasonal to diurnal timescales.

The new Geotiny Acc!

The new Geotiny Acc!

GEObit introduces the world’s lowest price, compact digital accelerograph which integrates acceleration sensor, 24bit digitizer, local data storage and Seedlink Server for data telemetry.

  • 3-axis accelerometers
  • Ultra Low Power Consumption
  • Olny 130mm D/ 76mm H
  • MEMS (Force balance / ASIC technology)
  • DC – 750Hz, Wide Dynamic Range 96dB
  • Output range +/-2g to +/-12g linear
  • Noise level 6ugrms/sqrt(Hz)
  • Integrated 24bit digitizer, miniseed data format
  • Local storage, and/or telemetry
  • Integrated seedlink and earthworm servers
  • Web interface, SSH, FTP, SFTP
  • Operating temperature -20 to +70oC
  • Aluminium IP68 case

GEOtinyAcc is a compact miniature digital accelerograph which integrates three acceleration channels. Actually is a GEOtiny! seismometer equipped with acceleration sensor. It supports high resolution 24bit digitizer (optional 32bit ADC), embedded linux OS and GPS or NTP timing. Seedlink server ensures reliable real time data telemetry while large storage volume ensures long period local data recording. The instrument has very low power consumption so it can operate getting powered from a small 12Vdc battery.

Design simplicity is the great advantage and it is reflected to the price which is only a fraction of the price of common commercial accelerographs. The sensor delivers superior signal-to-noise ratio and broadband response. The accelerograph communicates through ethernet CAT5 connection or wifi. The user has just to plug the power on and connect with the unit.

This device is compliant with the Los Angeles building code.
