Shallow Scattering Layer (SSL): Emergence Behaviors of Coastal Macrofauna

Abstract

Our long-term goals are to understand - to an extent that allows quantitative prediction - important interactions among acoustic propagation, marine organisms, particles (including sediments), solutes and moving fluids. The reason for these goals is to allow us to solve interesting forward and inverse problems in the marine environment.
