Acoustic Wave Dispersion and Scattering in Complex Marine Sediment Structures

Abstract

The long term science goals are to understand and quantify the physical mechanisms that control propagation and scattering in the seabed. The objectives are to advance understanding of 1) the nature and mechanisms leading to sediment volume scattering and 2) the effects of shear waves in general layered media. These advances will provide the basis for measuring dispersion in in-situ sediments in the frequency range of interest, 0.1- 10 kHz.
