Mine Burial Experiments in the North Sea: Environmental Controls

Abstract

Our long term goal is to improve mine burial prediction capability by development and verification of physics-based mine burial models, including burial at impact and subsequent burial by scour and liquefaction and sand ridge migration. Our objectives are to collect environmental data with remote and in situ techniques, primarily seafloor properties, required to test operational and research-grade mine burial models during a NATO-sponsored experiment in the North Sea.
