Actually GeoResonance mentions "resonance that is unique to nuclei" on their website; sounds an awful lot like NMR. In what capacity is the question.
They will come up with nothing in the BoB. The only thing we can hope is that they don't find some other wreck or anomaly nearby that GeoScammers can claim was distorted by a local ectoplasmic energy field which affected the operation of their Turbo-Encabulator, one of their nineteen other secret technologies they leverage.
A description of the Turbo Encabulator can be heard here:

I'm hoping David is already trying to choose what to wear on CNN, but if not, let me remind you that if you dislike these sorts of companies within your field, here's your chance to do at least something about that too.
For now, though, I'm going to assume that it is GeoResonance who is at fault here, and what I want to do is stimulate discussion a bit more around the other claims by GeoResonance, i.e. mainly the image gathering and processing work load, in order to "slam-dunk" debunk that area of GeoResonance's claim.
So "their team in the Ukraine" made the decision. I haven't seen any indication GeoResonance would actually have their own personnel in Ukraine, so it's highly likely that means Sevastopol directly. My guess is that the decision and the whole thing originates from Sevastopol, they then checked their list of partners and decided that it's best to make this public through their Australian partner, for obvious reasons.External Quote:"The technology that we use was originally designed to find nuclear warheads, submarines… our team in the Ukraine decided we should try and help," David Pope from GeoResonance said.
Just a quick comment on who's at fault and did the decision:

Also that quotation above also points to a spy sat being used in my opinion.
Whether this is a scam or not is another question. It might be that they actually honestly believe their own tech so it might be "just" a case of misguided science. And it might be that at least some of it works to some extent at least for the original purpose, and at some point when the military use was over they tried to convert their work to commercial use and at that point thought it might do something it really can't. Does that Gokh fellow have any military connections so is there any reason to assume they would have used his inventions before such commercialization started?
Dr. Gokh has connections to everyone, including extraterrests, ancient Egyptians, and underwater civilizations hidden deep in the ocean. Now prove its not true.Does that Gokh fellow have any military connections so is there any reason to assume they would have used his inventions before such commercialization started?
An intact plane would be easy to detect with conventional sub hunting active SONAR.
The reason I asked for that is that slide 5 of http://vitava.si/home/images/documents/eng/know-how/poisk_public_eng.pps gave a frequency range of 10-60 THz (5-30 um) for "tight-beam" radiation. Wikipedia indicated that this was in an unattenuated atmospheric transmission band, which you might expect to be used for something like a military laser. Figure 3.6 of your paper likewise indicates a drop in the complex index of refraction in water in this range as well, so deep water penetration at these frequencies isn't totally out of the question.

Frankly Bume, I don't understand why you want to be an apologist/promoter for this company. Each day brings more news of the lack of the "precisely" located aircraft in the Bay of Bengal. After all, the promoted technology according to the company website, can precisely identify the depth, size, shape, location, and composition of anything. Sorry to sound a bit harsh on what I understand is a collegiate site, but these are the exact words I would use when peer reviewing a paper.
The best video I have ever seen for the Turbo Encabulator is this one a couple of Chrysler tech training presenters developed some years back. I did mine as a voice over exercise (I do lots of technical VO work) and find it is a good script to use when you need to practice sounding like you know what you are talking about even if it makes no sense at all, but these Chrysler guys take it to an additional dimension...OMG, thank you Interp for a good start to Sunday morning! I had tears I was laughing so hard!

Stating he has worked for soviet military for 30+ years. So maybe some of his wild theories were actually used by the military as well.
Hello everyone, I've been tracking this in the news media and thought I'd join in. I'm an electrical engineer by profession.
It's very much out of the question. The curves are full of dips and peaks, but what you should be paying attention to is the actual magnitude of the imaginary part "k" of the complex IOR. That's what's going to tell you the penetration depth. In the band you mention it never gets smaller than 10^-3, corresponding to a best-case penetration depth of millimeters. That's at the shortest wavelengths mentioned; it just gets worse (much worse) from there.
I'm sure it was meant to sound like NMR. However the other technical details supplied rule that out completely. In order to put the Larmor frequency of Aluminum into the 10-60 THz range, you would need to apply an ungodly strong magnetic field that would make the most powerful MRI machines look like a fridge magnet. From a satellite. Which would probably pull said satellite back down to earth so fast it would hit like the Tunguska meteorite. Let's just say the prospect of generating such a field twice on two separate days isn't going to be on the menu.
There are also some interesting pieces of information how he first developed his magnetic resonance wonder thingy for finding water, apparently had some success with it, and developed it further for airborne use and for finding oil and minerals for which the initial partner was an oil company named Chernomornefte-gaz.
BTW, on the page of the St. Petersburg University showing an information about the Space and Geoinformation Technologies Resource Center (another company of Dr. Gokh) (http://sgt.spbu.ru/en/), they list all 6 satellites used by the technology. So there are no secret military satellites as far as I can tell:
Terra, Aqua, SPOT-4, SPOT-5, EROS A, RADARSAT-1
I guess, it might be possible to find out in what spectrum their imagery is done.
EDIT - better told the Space and Geoinformation Technologies Resource Center is being referred to by Dr. Gokh, but I do not know whether he is related to it (he is not mentioned there), or whether he just abuses their legit research in remote geophysical sensing.

It seems to me that the best way to put a definitive end to the GeoResonance MH370 hoax would be for Malaysian authorities to file criminal charges against them.
Here is an example from my part of the world of what happens when someone misleads a Search and Rescue mission with false information.
http://www.wral.com/nc-man-pleads-guilty-to-fake-mayday-calls/13615064/
This was a prank call that could earn the perpetrator 6 years in prison and $250k fine.
What GeoResonance has done would seem to fall under the Obstruction of Justice laws that cover activities that impede or mislead an ongoing criminal investigation. The Malaysian authorities are investigating the MH370 loss a criminal act and GeoResonance has certainly caused them to have to divert valuable resources. I suspect that a visit to the back office at GeoResonance would yield a laptop with PhotoShop running and a bunch of manipulated images showing where they constructed the MH370 airplane shaped "anomalies".
I believe this kind of fraud is damaging on more levels than I can list here and would love to see them held responsible. I just noticed GeoResonance has released another Press Release (May 4) warning that silt from the Ganges River has probably covered the airplane now making it harder to locate. They are continuing to build their cover story.

Thanks for this...Turbo Encabulation technology grossly pre-dates this clip...
From that release:
"GeoResonance was not physically involved in verifying the identified location in the Bay of Bengal. The identified object(s) may be covered in silt due to its location on the shelf, south of the mouth of the Ganges River system. The Ganges River has the second greatest water discharge, hence silt may be an issue. Our team of experts hopes the scouring of the Bay of Bengal is (or will be) limited to the deployment of only one sonar-equipped vessel capable of dealing with silt, within the reported area, which is only 500 square metres in size."
Interviewed by Bret Baier on Fox News Special Report and asked how silt could have built up so quickly a thousand kilometers from the Ganges, the company spokesman replied, "Dude, that was, like, two weeks ago."![]()
Here is the problem with these claims - the success of finding something is a function of how common the "something" is, how likely the "something" is to occur in the search area, and how big an anomaly your method generates. Water is common and pretty easy to find using geologic common sense so I don't see finding water as a big success story.
As an illustration of the latter two points... When I worked for Newmont Mining we routinely would have people pitch new technologies that they wanted to apply on the Carlin Trend (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlin_Unconformity). All they wanted was 10% of anything they discovered. We never took anyone up on these proposals since we held most of the land and mineral rights. But on looking at their examples of previous projects they generated "anomalies" over about 1/3 of the study area. So it was like randomly covering 1/3 of a dart board, in this case a they had a 33% chance of getting 10% interest in a discovery in a highly endowed gold district. If you look at the images on the Georesonance website you will see even worse behavior, almost the entire study area falls within their blobby anomalies.
What do they mean in not being physically involved in verifying the location? The current search there or the location of their original claim?
You mean "physically involved in verifying the identified location", meaning they can attribute the false lead to the reactor technicians in Sevastopol, the Bangladeshi sonar operator or whatever meaning they need to concoct for the next phase of the hoax.

The list includes also the Sevastopol National University, because its ex-rector seems to have presented the work of Dr. Gokh and co. during a conference of the Black Sea University Network. I hope it will turn out to be some kind of mistake on their part, or an abuse of their identity.
1. If you think that GR is debunked because a few ships couldn't find it in a few days, would you also consider that the resource-laden investigators and searchers of the international parties searching the South Indian Ocean are deceiving us too?

2. Gokh is irrelevant. His intellectual relation to what GR is doing today is unclear. If he was as far out as he seemed, he possibly had a lot of clout, and people might have worked with him out of convenience (Wouldn't be the first time good workers supported a powerful eccentric). But I consider Gokh a red herring: all I care about is what methods GR is using today, not the details of where they came from, as entertaining as those might be.

3. That's asserted a lot here, but I still don't see why repeating it a lot in itself makes it true.
To answer your proposed reductio absurdum: On the face of it, only a fool would consider the idea that a sundered body could ever be reunited. But then would you regard someone who claims to be able to reattaching a finger or larger limb by surgery a charlatan? Also, please don't misunderstand my position. I'm not claiming GeoResonance is necessarily "for real". Just as in the case of reuniting the severed body parts, I'm pondering how what I've seen might be done.
