Oceanic Imaging Consultants Inc.
Tom Reed, President and Founder Oceanic Imaging Consultants, Inc., received his undergraduate degrees in Economic Geology from Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1982, and his Ph.D. in Marine Geology and Geophysics from the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa in 1987. His research at UH included development and programming of automated techniques for analysis and mapping of the seafloor with side scan sonar. This research was performed largely for the Office of Naval Research in association with the UH SeaMARC II Sidescan Sonar Seafloor Mapping Program. In 1993, Dr. Reed founded Oceanic Imaging Consultants, Inc. to answer the growing need for commercially available seafloor mapping software, services, and systems. Dr. Reed’s research interests include acoustics, remote sensing and statistics as applied to problems in marine geology and geophysics.
