Electrokinetic Transduction of Acoustic Waves In Ocean Sediments

Abstract

Electrokinetics (EK) and surface chemistry play an important role in wave propagation in electrolyte-saturated porous media and certain kinds of suspensions. The sea floor exhibits acoustical properties usually attributed to both of these material types. This project seeks to understand how EK phenomena and wave propagation are coupled in ocean sediments.
