Implementation and Design of a Shallow Water Imaging System
Abstract
LONG-TERM GOALS. Our long-term goal is to develop and improve acoustic techniques for imaging fine-scale stratigraphy in shallow-water environments Improved resolution of the preserved stratigraphy in shallow water regions is the necessary first step to determining the transfer functions between high-frequency sedimentary processes and the formation of the longer-term stratigraphic record. The dynamics linking physical processes operative on small spatial and temporal scales ("event" stratigraphy) to the formation of the longer-term stratigraphic record must be understood in order for us to construct realistic quantitative stratigraphic and morphologic models for shallow water regions.
