Abstract: An electromagnetic system for exploring the seabed in a marine environment includes a current injection module with two electrodes spaced apart from one another, said injection electrodes being capable of injecting a current at a predetermined voltage into the marine environment close to the seabed, said injection electrodes having a contact surface with the marine environment. The system includes a data acquisition module with at least two measuring sensors for measuring electrical or magnetic data at least two points of the marine environment close to the seabed, and a power supply module for supplying power to the current injection module. Each electrode includes one or more separate conductive elements that are electrically connected to each other and arranged in such a way as to form a conductive network or a multilayer conductive assembly having a large contact surface with the marine environment.

Abstract: A geophysical measurement device is provided for exploration of natural resources of the floor in an aquatic domain. The device includes a frame designed to rest in a stable manner on the floor of the aquatic environment, at least one buoyancy caisson resting on the frame, measurement instruments. The measurement instruments including: at least one sensor making it possible to measure locally at least one of the components of the magnetic field; an analogue and/or digital data acquisition and processing device; and a source of energy supply of the sensor and of the data acquisition and processing device. The at least one sensor is contained inside the buoyancy caisson.
