Coastal Geosciences/Optics

Abstract

The Coastal Geosciences/Optics activity develops knowledge of the littoral, nearshore and riverine environments in which physical, acoustical and optical processes are dominated by the presence of the sea or river bed and air-water interface. Predictive environmental models, custom climatological databases, adaptive sampling schemes, technologies for nearshore observations and advanced remote sensing capabilities provide critical foundational information for Naval Special Warfare, Mine and Expeditionary Warfare and Amphibious operations. This Program emphasizes field research in navally relevant environments, including many that require research outside the U.S.
