The Mechanics of Bubble Growth and Rise in Sediments

Abstract

Our long term goal is a quantitative, mechanistic and predictive understanding of the dynamics of bubbles and bubble populations in marine sediments. We believe that this information can be used to improve and test acoustic backscatter models for sediments and to better understand the ebullitive flux of methane, an important "greenhouse gas", to the atmosphere.
