Statistical Characterization of Bathymetry and Stratigraphy on Continental Margins

Abstract

The long-term goal is to enable realistic acoustic modeling in the continental shelf environment given limited geological and geophysical data. The objectives are to: Formulate statistical models of shelf and slope bathymetric roughness and for stratigraphic architecture. Develop methodology for interpolation of sparsely sampled bathymetric and stratigraphic data. Ground-truth swath sonar data to enable prediction of geotechnical properties of surface sediments.
