Final Report: Non-Contact Geophysical Methods to Predict Near-Surface Seafloor Soil Properties

Abstract

The overall goal of the research is to understand how geophysical measurements can be used to predict near-surface seafloor soil properties accurately and reliably. The objectives of the study are to develop correlations relating geophysical properties to engineering properties of a variety of near-surface sediments through controlled laboratory and field trials.
