The controlled source electromagnetic technology (CSEM) system that will be used during the Paleolandscapes, Paleoecology, and Cultural Heritage on the Southern California Continental Shelf expedition ready to be deployed. This is a modified version called CUESI (Compact Undersea Electromagnetic Source Instrument). This system is deep towed rather than surface towed, which is typical for CSEM instrumentation. Both system types will be used on this project. CUESI was designed and developed by a team at the Scripps EM Laboratory that includes expedition team members Steven Constable and Roslynn King. CUESI development was partially funded by the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training.
