Statistical Characterization of Bathymetry and Stratigraphy on Continental Margins

Abstract

Long-term goals: Enable realistic acoustic modeling in the continental shelf environment given limited geological and geophysical data. Objectives: Formulate statistical models of shelf and slope bathymetric roughness and for stratigraphic architecture. Develop methodology for interpolation of sparsely sampled bathymetric and stratigraphic data. Ground-truth swath sonar data to enable prediction of geotechnical properties of surface sediments.
