Further applied research is required to address deficiencies in the performance of the sensors in terms of noise floor and overscaling and explore options for the sensor packaging to optimise geophysical performance as well as manufacturing and deployment considerations.
Experimental development is then required to design, build and test the sensors, sensor packaging and array in both a laboratory and field environment.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
