Sediment Physical Properties Survey for the ONR GeoClutter Program

Abstract

The goals of this study are to (1) understand the physical basis for sonar backscatter patterns in shallow-marine environments and (2) develop new knowledge on the role of modern sedimentary processes in the morphodynamic evolution of the continental shelf seafloor.
