Geoacoustic Parameters of Marine Sediments: Theory and Experiment
Abstract
There are four long term goals, as follows, in descending order of priority. 1) Characterize fully, from a physics-based model, the inter-relationships that exist between the geo-acoustic properties (i.e., compressional-wave speed and attenuation, shear-wave speed and attenuation, frequency, density, porosity, grain size, grain shape and overburden pressure) of saturated, unconsolidated granular media such as marine sediments. 2) Develop a deep-diving acoustic monitoring system capable of operating to the greatest depths in the ocean. 3) Relate the bubble structure to the acoustic properties of ship wakes. 4) Detect extremely high-energy neutrinos from their acoustic signatures in the ocean.
