Characterizing Variability in the Distribution of High-Frequency Acoustic Backscattering in a Shallow Water Coastal Region

Abstract

The central goal of this project is for the Primary Investigator, Gareth Lawson, to design, execute, and defend his doctoral thesis research. In terms of its scientific purpose, this research seeks to contribute to our understanding of spatial and temporal variability in the distribution of high-frequency acoustic backscattering stemming from zooplankton.
