Abstract
A sea-floor electromagnetic measurement device for obtaining underwater measurements of earth formations including a central structure and arms attached to the central structure so that they can pivot relative to the central structure. An electrode is attached to the end of each of the arms or to the central structure, and/or magnetometers are attached to the arms. A method for undertaking sea-floor electromagnetic measurements of earth formations including measuring electric fields at a selected distance from a central structure of an electromagnetic measurement system. Magnetic fields are then measured at the same location.
