Underwater Test Bed for Technology Demonstration: Processing and Interpretation of Shallow Water Stratigraphy Data

Abstract

The primary objective of this project is to provide high-resolution stratigraphic characterization of an unexploded ordnance (UXO) test site in the surf zone offshore of Shell Island, Florida. The test site is being set up for research into technologies and applications for UXO removal, and requires a detailed environmental characterization of the sedimentary properties in the shallow subsurface. After a successful reconnaissance chirp survey, the data were processed and interpreted to provide a geologic framework for the UXO test site.
