SRA Ocean Acoustics Traineeship for PhD Student to Completion: Shallow Water Mud Acoustics
Abstract
The goal of this proposal is to determine the effects of distributions of key physicalcharacteristics, such as constituent type and particle size, on geoacoustic properties of mixedcomponent mud-like marine sediments. Quantitative physics-based models and formulas will be derived that specify dependencies on wave speeds and attenuations. Validation and refinementof the formulas will be performed using archival and Seabed Characterization Experiment data.Inversion results from SCE acoustic data will be employed as they become available. Thisproposal is solely for support of an Ocean Acoustics PhD Trainee, and activities for her advancedtraining are provided. The research in this proposal is closely coordinated with ONR grants toRensselaer (~Shallow-Water Mud Acoustics~, N000141512025, 1 Feb 15 ~ 31 Jan 18, PI Dr.William L. Siegmann) and to Boston University (~Acoustical Properties of Mud Sediments~,N000141512039, 01 Feb 15 ~ 31 Dec 17, PI Dr. Allan D. Pierce).
