Seismic Air Blasting by Brandon Johnson https://padlet.com/brandon_johnson4/seismic Made with Ethanol. en-us 2018-03-12 16:56:45 UTC 2018-03-22 17:51:20 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Growing.png Expert solution #1 ethan_hall5 https://padlet.com/brandon_johnson4/seismic/wish/242910424 Ground Penetrating Radar.

Strengths- Doesn't cause damage to the ecosystems as far as we know. Since this doesn't use sonar,  it shouldn't cause any harm to animals.

Weaknesses- Technology hasn't been used much. Plus the radar doesn't go as far as companies might want it to.

Instead of firing the shot over a short period of time, it fires it over a longer period of time

Strengths- Doesn't 🤬 as much marine life. And still uses the same tech. Quieter than regular blasting.

Weaknesses- Still may cause injury to marine life. Oil companies may not want to use it because it is not as reliable.

Drone that can be deployed in areas suspected of having oil. And can find it without damaging the ecosystem, by using radar instead of sonar or airgun blasting.

Strengths- Doesn't damage the ecosystem. Precise depending on how its used.

Weaknesses- EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE! Human error can occur. Not as reliable.

This was a proposal that was made on this issue. It is a series of alternatives (Legally) to seismic airblasting.

Strengths: It is something that affects all companies that use this form of seismic surveys.

Weaknesses: Can be repealed. May not affect oil companies that use this form of seismic testing in international waters.
