Biological Effects on Sound Propagation into Sediments at Low Grazing Angles: Planning and Methods Development

Abstract

My long-term goal is to understand important interactions among organisms, non-living particles (including sediments), solutes and moving fluids. The reason for this goal is to be able to solve interesting forward and inverse problems dealing with marine biota. My current objectives under this grant are to help plan the DRI on High-Frequency Sound Interaction in Ocean Sediments specifically so that the effects of biota on the propagation of acoustic energy into, through and back from sediments can be resolved.
